    This paper (the contents of which constitute the second part of a doctoral thesis) deals with the classical many-body problem characterized by an inverse square two-body potential whose strength is proportional to the masses of two interacting particles. Three non-integrability theorems are presented, but only the second one is tersely reported here: Theorem 2. (i) The inverse square four-body problem on the line, with two masses equal to 1 and two masses equal to \(m\neq 1\), has not a complete system of first integrals which are meromorphic in canonical variables. (ii) In spaces of more than one dimension, the inverse square three-body problem with two equal masses has not a complete system of first integrals which are meromorphic in canonical variables. The author notes that this result represents a natural step beyond the integrability results proved by J. Moser and C. G. J. Jacobi for one-dimensional three-body and many-body problems with inverse square two-body potentials with arbitrary and with equal masses, respectively.
