We first provide a classification of the pure rotational motion of 2 particles on a sphere interacting via a repelling potential. This is achieved by providing a simple geometric equivalence between repelling particles and attracting particles, and relying on previous work on the similar classification for attracting particles. The second theme of the paper is to study the 2-body problem on a surface of constant curvature treating the curvature as a parameter, and with particular interest in…

We investigate the motion of one and two charged non-relativistic particles on a sphere in the presence of a magnetic field of uniform strength. For one particle, the motion is always circular, and
Some remarks about the centre of mass of two particles in spaces of constant curvature
The concept of centre of mass of two particles in 2D spaces of constant Gaussian curvature is discussed by recalling the notion of "relativistic rule of lever" introduced by Galperin [Comm. Math.

Reduction and relative equilibria for the two-body problem on spaces of constant curvature
• Mathematics
• 2018
We consider the two-body problem on surfaces of constant nonzero curvature and classify the relative equilibria and their stability. On the hyperbolic plane, for each $$q>0$$q>0 we show there are two
Central Configurations of the Curved N-Body Problem
• Mathematics
J. Nonlinear Sci.
• 2018
It is proved that, for any given point masses on spheres and hyperbolic spheres, central configurations always exist and the number of central configurations that lie on the same geodesic is extended, thus extending the celebrated theorem of Moulton to hyperbols and pointing out that it has no straightforward generalization to spheres.

In this paper, we consider in detail the 2-body problem in spaces of constant positive curvature S2 and S3. We perform a reduction (analogous to that in rigid body dynamics) after which the problem

The Kepler problem is a dynamical system that is well defined not only on the Euclidean plane but also on the sphere and on the hyperbolic plane. First, the theory of central potentials on spaces of

Abstract We provide the differential equations that generalize the Newtonian $N$ -body problem of celestial mechanics to spaces of constant Gaussian curvature $\kappa$ , for all \$\kappa \in
The continuous transition of Hamiltonian vector fields through manifolds of constant curvature

We ask whether Hamiltonian vector fields defined on spaces of constant Gaussian curvature κ (spheres, for κ > 0, and hyperbolic spheres, for κ < 0) pass continuously through the value κ = 0 if the
Bifurcations of the Lagrangian orbits from the classical to the curved 3-body problem
We consider the 3-body problem of celestial mechanics in Euclidean, elliptic, and hyperbolic spaces and study how the Lagrangian (equilateral) relative equilibria bifurcate when the Gaussian

We consider the dynamics and symplectic reduction of the 2-body problem on a sphere of arbitrary dimension. It suffices to consider the case for when the sphere is 3-dimensional and where we take the
