Abstract: In this paper, we consider the linear stability of the elliptic relative equilibria of the restricted 4-body problems where the three primaries form a Lagrangian triangle. By reduction, the linearized Poincar'e map is decomposed to the essential part, the Keplerian part and the elliptic Lagrangian part where the last two parts have been studied in literature. The linear stability of the essential part depends on the masses parameters $alpha$, $$ with $$ and the eccentricity $ein[0,1)$. Via $om$-Maslov index theory and linear differential operator theory, we obtain the full bifurcation diagram of linearly stable and unstable regions with respect to $alpha$, $$ and $e$. Especially, two linearly stable sub-regions are found.

Review text

The authors study the linear stability of the elliptic relative equilibria of the restricted 4-body problem, where the three primary bodies form a Lagrangian triangle and the fourth body possesses zero mass. By reduction, the linearized Poincaré map is decomposed into the essential part, the Keplerian part and the elliptic Lagrangian part. The last two parts have been studied in the literature. The authors study via index theory the linear stability of the essential part according to the values of the mass parameters \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) and the eccentricity \(e\in [0,1)\). They briefly introduce the normal forms of the symplectic matrices and the \(\omega\)-Maslov index theory of symplectic paths. By using the \(\omega\)-Maslov index and linear differential operator theory, they obtain the full bifurcation diagram of linearly stable and unstable regions with respect to the \(\alpha\), \(\beta\) and \(e\). Two linearly stable sub-regions are found.
