Generalised Saari's conjecture for homogeneous potentials

Consider the homogeneous potential with exponent α\alpha as above, and the moment of inertia II. The exceptional exponents are α=2\alpha=-2 and α=2\alpha=2; the equal-mass rectilinear three-body problem with α=4\alpha=-4 is also excluded. Generalised Saari's conjecture. Saari's original conjecture extends to homogeneous potentials with α2\alpha\ne-2 and α2\alpha\ne2, subject to the stated rectilinear equal-mass three-body exclusion. For α2\alpha\ne2, the paper explains that this generalised conjecture is contained in the homographic conjecture; the general claim is not established in the source.
