Many-body forces, and specially three-body forces, are sometimes a relevant ingredient in various fields, such as atomic, nuclear or hadronic physics. As their precise structure is generally difficult to uncover or to implement,…
In the classical one-dimensional solution of fluid dynamics equations all unknown functions depend only on time t and Cartesian coordinate x. Although fluid spreads in all directions (velocity vector has three components) the whole picture…
We generalize the Newtonian n-body problem to spaces of curvature k=constant, and study the motion in the 2-dimensional case. For k>0, the equations of motion encounter non-collision singularities, which occur when two bodies are antipodal.…
