Uniqueness of the equal-eigenvalue balanced configuration in the 3-body problem in four dimensions
Uniqueness of the equal-eigenvalue balanced configuration in the 3-body problem in four dimensions
Let a balanced configuration of the three-body problem in have angular momentum and eigenvalues and . Uniqueness conjecture. For any choice of masses, a unique balanced configuration allows a relative-equilibrium motion with given angular momentum and equal eigenvalues
The claim would imply that short balanced families do not reach and, together with the proposition on cusps, that each short family has at least one cusp; the source presents existence and uniqueness as apparent rather than established.
