The three-body problem is a fundamental long-standing open problem, with applications in all branches of physics, including astrophysics, nuclear physics and particle physics. In general, conserved quantities allow to reduce the formulation of a mechanical problem to fewer degrees of freedom, a process known as dynamical reduction. However, extant reductions are either non-general, or hide the problem's symmetry or include unexplained definitions. This paper presents a general and natural dynamical reduction, which avoids these issues. Any three-body configuration defines a triangle, and its orientation in space. Accordingly, we decompose the dynamical variables into the geometry (shape + size) and orientation of the triangle. The geometry variables are shown to describe the motion of an abstract point in a curved 3d space, subject to a potential-derived force and a magnetic-like force with a monopole charge. The orientation variables are shown to obey a dynamics analogous to the Euler equations for a rotating rigid body; only here the moments of inertia depend on the geometry variables, rather than being constant. The reduction rests on a novel symmetric solution to the center of mass constraint inspired by Lagrange's solution to the cubic. The formulation of the orientation variables is novel and rests on a partially known generalization of the Euler-Lagrange equations to non-coordinate velocities. Applications to global features, to the statistical solution, to special exact solutions and to economized simulations are presented. A generalization to the four-body problem is presented.
The restricted three-body problem serves to investigate the chaotic behavior of a small body under the gravitational influence of two heavy primary bodies. We analyze numerically the phase space mixing of bounded motion, escape, and crash in this simple model of (chaotic) celestial mechanics. The presented extensive numerical analysis reveals a high degree of complexity. We extend the recently presented findings for the Copenhagen case of equal main masses to the general case of different primary body masses. Collisions of the small body onto the primaries are comparatively frequent, and their probability displays a scale-free dependence on the size of the primaries as shown for the Copenhagen case. Interpreting the crash as leaking in phase space the results are related to both chaotic scattering and the theory of leaking Hamiltonian systems.
Recovering trajectories of quantum systems whose classical counterparts display chaotic behavior has been a subject that has received a lot of interest over the last decade. However, most of these studies have focused on driven and dissipative systems. The relevance and impact of chaotic-like phenomena to quantum systems has been highlighted in recent studies which have shown that quantum chaos is significant in some aspects of quantum computation and information processing. In this paper we study a three-body system comprising of identical particles arranged so that the system's classical trajectories exhibit Hamiltonian chaos. Here we show that it is possible to recover very nearly classical-like, conservative, chaotic trajectories from such a system through an unravelling of the master equation. First, this is done through continuous measurement of the position of each system. Second, and perhaps somewhat surprisingly, we demonstrate that we still obtain a very good match between the classical and quantum dynamics by weakly measuring the position of only one of the oscillators.
Thanks Uwe. I checkled on Adobe Digital Editions on PC and on Andorid it is: Reasily and Lithium. It is World-Ready Paragraph Comnposer as I use Tibetan text in places. Here is a spread from the documeny in idd: _EPUB3.epub?dl=0
Yes, I agree, Adobe Digital Editions is a disaster. I made several epub3 fixed layout format in InDesign from scratch in Mobile setting aimed at iPad and they all worked well on iPad and Android but... not in ADE))) although the text was still justified even in ADE. This time the book was designed for print and I'm trying to cut down on workload and not redisgning it from scratch as EPUB but just export to EPUB3 FLF because there is this oprion. The fact that this time iut doesn't show in ADE and, also, on Android apps, shows that there is a problem, not just display problem in ADE.
You said you had the same problem but you don't. The OP is on 2020 and you say you're on 2021. You've supplied no screenshots or details on what fonts you're using, what O/S, or what EPUB viewer. Please provide that and we might be able to help.
This paper considers two point boundary value problems for conservative systems defined in multiple coordinate systems, and develops a flexible a posteriori framework for computer assisted existence proofs. Our framework is applied to the study collision and near collision orbits in the circular restricted three body problem. In this case the coordinate systems are the standard rotating coordinates, and the two Levi-Civita coordinate systems regularizing collisions with each of the massive primaries. The proposed framework is used to prove the existence of a number of orbits which have long been studied numerically in the celestial mechanics literature, but for which there are no existing analytical proofs at the mass and energy values considered here. These include transverse ejection/collisions from one primary body to the other, Strmgren's asymptotic periodic orbits (transverse homoclinics for L4,5), families of periodic orbits passing through collision, and orbits connecting L4 to ejection or collision.

Cassini states correspond to equilibria of the spin axis of a body when its orbit is perturbed. They were initially described for satellites, but the spin axis of stars and planets undergoing strong dissipation can also evolve into some equilibria. For small satellites, the rotational angular momentum is usually much smaller than the total angular momentum, so classical methods for finding Cassini states rely on this approximation. Here we present a more general approach, which is valid for the secular quadrupolar non-restricted problem with spin. Our method is still valid when the precession rate and the mutual inclination of the orbits are not constant. Therefore, it can be used to study stars with close-in companions, or planets with heavy satellites, like the Earth-Moon system.
Colombo (1966) has shown that the second and third laws are independent of the first one, in the sense that even if the rotation rate is not synchronous, the second and third laws can still be satisfied since they correspond to the minimum dissipation of energy for the spin axis. For a non-synchronous Moon, only the angle between its equator and the ecliptic would change. Indeed, while the first law requires an triaxial ellipsoid to work, the two other laws only require an oblate spheroid. Moreover, Colombo (1966) generalised his theory to any satellite or planet whose nodal line on the invariant plane shifts because of perturbations, which can have a different origin, such as the oblateness of the central body, perturbations from a third body, or both. Peale (1969) further generalised second and third laws to include the effects of an axial asymmetry and rotation rates commensurable with the orbital mean motion.
