The n -centre problem of celestial mechanics for large energies

Andreas Knauf (2002)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider the classical three-dimensional motion in a potential which is the sum of n attracting or repelling Coulombic potentials. Assuming a non-collinear configuration of the n centres, we find a universal behaviour for all energies E above a positive threshold. Whereas for n = 1 there are no bounded orbits, and for n = 2 there is just one closed orbit, for n 3 the bounded orbits form a Cantor set. We analyze the symbolic dynamics and estimate Hausdorff dimension and topological entropy of this hyperbolic set....
