Review text

The Lagrange problem is the problem of two fixed centers adding a centrifugal force from the middle of the two fixed centers. In this paper, the author studies the regularized energy hypersurface of the Lagrange problem. The author proves that, under certain mass conditions and for every energy level below the minimum of the first three critical values, each bounded component of the regularized energy hypersurface in the Lagrange problem constitutes the boundary of a strictly monotone toric domain and is dynamically convex. Moreover, when the perturbation parameter \(\epsilon\) equals zero, the Lagrange problem reduces to the Euler problem. Similarly, under certain mass conditions, the author shows that the energy surface is a convex toric domain. The idea is that in elliptic coordinates the Lagrange problem can be regularized and separated into two integrable Hamiltonian systems, so the author can define the momentum map and study it as a toric domain. The result in this paper is significant, as it provides a concrete example of a monotone toric domain arising from a celestial mechanics problem, which will aid future research in this area.
