The existence of periodic orbits of various forms in the \(n\)-body problem is related to the minimization of action functional of motion. The conditions under which coercivity, non-collision and non-triviality occur are investigated for various topological and symmetry constraints. Five theorems are presented relating collision-free motions with absolute action minimizers for three and four bodies. For more bodies, impressive choreographies (periodic motions) are revealed numerically while their theoretical proofs are pending. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0983.00061].
