In his fondamental "Essay on the 3-body problem", Lagrange, well before Jacobi's "reduction of the node", carries out the first complete reduction of symetries. Discovering the so-called homographic motions, he shows that they necessarily…
Second order Newton equations of motion for a radiating particle are presented. It is argued that the trajectories obeying them also satisfy the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac (ALD) equations for general 3D motions in the non-relativistic and…
We demonstrate how to separate the rotational degrees of freedom in a quantum N-body problem completely from the internal ones. It is shown that any common eigenfunction of the total orbital angular momentum ($\ell$) and the parity in the…
We study the most general form of a three dimensional classical integrable system with axial symmetry and invariant under the axis reflection. We assume that the three constants of motion are the Hamiltonian, $H$, with the standard form of…
Discussed is mechanics of objects with internal degrees of freedom in generally non-Euclidean spaces. Geometric peculiarities of the model are investigated detailly. Discussed are also possible mechanical applications, e.g., in dynamics of…
The wave functions of Boson and Fermion gases are known even when the particles have harmonic interactions. Here we generalise these results by solving exactly the N-body Schrodinger equation for potentials V that can be any function of the…
The internal space for a molecule, atom, or other n-body system can be conveniently parameterised by 3n-9 kinematic angles and three kinematic invariants. For a fixed set of kinematic invariants, the kinematic angles parameterise a…
The paper proposes a 4-dimensional generalization of the Hamilton equations of motion to the case of the Minkowski space-time. The approach can be applied to quantum as well as to classical, non-relativistic as well as relativistic…
An action minimizing path between two given configurations, spatial or planar, of the $n$-body problem is always a true -- collision-free -- solution. Based on a remarkable idea of Christian Marchal, this theorem implies the existence of…
The problem of finding most general form of the classical integrable relativistic models of many-body interaction of the $BC_{n}$ type is considered. In the simplest nontrivial case of $n=2$,the extra integral of motion is presented in…
We derive a first order formalism for solving the scattering of point sources in (2+1) gravity with negative cosmological constant. We show that their physical motion can be mapped, with a polydromic coordinate transformation, to a trivial…
We consider a two-dimensional, incompressible fluid body, together with self-induced interactions. The body is perturbed by an external particle with small mass. The whole configuration rotates uniformly around the common center of mass. We…
The main problem is to understand and to find periodic symmetric orbits in the $n$-body problem, in the sense of finding methods to prove or compute their existence, and more importantly to describe their qualitative and quantitative…
This monograph describes a Riemannian geometric reduction approach to the three-body problem. The fundamental theorems are presented in the introductory part, whereas their proofs are provided in later chapters where specific topics are…
We discuss the general three-particle quantum scattering problem, for motion restricted to the full line. Specifically, we formulate the three-body problem in one dimension in terms of the (Faddeev-type) integral equation approach. As a…
We investigate expansive solutions of the $N$-body problem in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\ge2$) driven by homogeneous Newtonian potentials of degree $-\alpha$. We establish the existence of half-entire expansive motions with prescribed initial…
The purpose of this publication is to derive and discuss equations of motion of affinely rigid (homogeneously deformable) body moving in Euclidean space of general dimension $n$. Our aim is to present some analytical methods and to discuss…
This work is concerned with multi-dimensional integrals, which are making their appearance in few-body atomic and nuclear physics. It is shown that the relevant two- and three-dimensional integrals can be reduced to one-dimensional form.…
We consider an analytic way to make the interacting N-body problem tractable by using harmonic oscillators in place of the relevant two-body interactions. The two body terms of the N-body Hamiltonian are approximated by considering the…
We prove the existence of a number of smooth periodic motions $u_*$ of the classical Newtonian $N$-body problem which, up to a relabeling of the $N$ particles, are invariant under the rotation group ${\cal R}$ of one of the five Platonic…
