Integrability of the spatial restricted three-body problem near collisions (an announcement) (Q2418841)

The authors, here, ``present the integration of the spatial circular restricted three-body problem in a neighbourhood of its collision singularities by extending an idea of T. Levi-Civita'', who performed the integration of the planar circular restricted three-body problem in a neighbourhood of a collision set through the introduction of a transformation which is called the Levi-Civita (LC) regularization. Levi-Civita proved the existence of an integral of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of the Hamiltonian h, representing the regularized planar circular restricted three-body problem (Levi-Civita Hamiltonian), in a neighbourhood of the collision singularity at the body \(P_j\). This integral is a second, first integral, independent of \(h\), defined in a neighbourhood of the collision singularity at \(P_j\). The regularization of the spatial restricted three-body problem has been done by Kustaanheimo and Stiefel, but the integrability of the regularized Hamiltonian (Kustaanheimo-Stiefel Hamiltonian (KS)) has never been addressed for \(n=3\) bodies. Here, the authors' purpose is precisely to extend to the fully spatial case following Levi-Civita, and thus they offer a complete integrability of the spatial problem near collisions. Regularizations of spatial problems are dramatically more complicate than regularizations of the planar problem.
