Bounded orbits for 3 bodies in $\mathbb{R}^4$

Dynamical Systems 2024-06-27 v2

Abstract

We consider the Newtonian 3-body problem in dimension 4, and fix a value of the angular momentum which is compatible with this dimension. We show that the energy function cannot tend to its infimum on an unbounded sequence of states. Consequently the infimum of the energy is its minimum. This completes our previous work \cite{AD19} on the existence of Lyapunov stable relative periodic orbits in the 3-body problem in R4\mathbb{R}^4.
