Abstract: We ask whether Hamiltonian vector fields defined on spaces of constant Gaussian curvature $kappa$ (spheres, for $kappa>0$, and hyperbolic spheres, for $kappa<0$), pass continuously through the value $kappa=0$ if the potential functions $U_{k}appa,kappainmathbbR$, that define them satisfy the property $li{m}_{kappao0}{U}_{k}appa=U_0$, where $U_0$ corresponds to the Euclidean case. We prove that the answer to this question is positive, both in the 2- and 3-dimensional cases, which are of physical interest, and then apply our conclusions to the gravitational $N$-body problem.
