Abstract: For the $N$-centre problem in the three dimensional space, ${\displaystyle }$ ddot x = -sum_{i=1}^{N} frac{m_i ,(x-c_i)}{vert x - c_i vert^{alpha+2}}, qquad x in mathbb{R}^3 setminus {c_1,ldots,c_N}, ${\displaystyle }$ where $Ngeq2$, $m_i>0$ and $alphain[1,2)$, we prove the existence of entire parabolic trajectories having prescribed asymptotic directions. The proof relies on a variational argument of min-max type. Morse index estimates and regularization techniques are used in order to rule out the possible occurrence of collisions.
