Regularization of the restricted $(n+1)$-body problem on curved spaces




Abstract: We consider (n+1) bodies moving under their mutual gravitational attraction in spaces with constant Gaussian curvature kappa. In this system, n primary bodies with equal masses form a relative equilibrium solution with a regular polygon configuration, and the remaining body of negligible mass does not affect the motion of the others. We show that the singularity due to binary collision between the negligible mass and the primaries can be regularized local and globally through suitable changes of coordinates (Levi-Civita and Birkhoff type transformations).
