Abstract

In this paper we characterize all the solutions of the three body problem on which one body with mass $m_1$ remains in a fixed line and the other two bodies have the same mass $m_2$. We show that all the solutions with negative total energy (potential plus kinetic), never collide. "Explicit" solutions of the motion of all the three bodies are given in term of just one solution of an ordinary differential equation of order two of one real value function. We show that the solutions of a big subfamily of this family remains bounded for all time. The same results are shown for the n-body problem. When the body on the line remains constant, we have provide exact formulas for the solutions --for any n-- in the same way as we have for the two body problem. Once we have shown that there are infinitely many periodic solutions, we provide several examples of periodic examples for the 3-Body, 4-Body, 5-Body and 6-Body problem. This is a first version. Comments and suggestions for references are welcome. A YouTube video explaining one of this solutions has been posted on http://youtu.be/2Wpv6vpOxXk

Monotonicity, global symplectification and the stability of Dry Ten Martini Problem

We prove that, for every irrational frequency and every analytic Type I potential, each supercritical spectral energy satisfying the gap-labelling condition is an endpoint of an open spectral gap. This establishes the conjecture of Ge--Jitomirskaya--You \cite{GJY,You} in the supercritical regime. Consequently, the ``all gaps open'' property of the supercritical almost Mathieu operator persists under sufficiently small analytic perturbations. The main ingredient is a global symplectification of the center bundle that preserves quantitative monotonicity. This allows us to study gap opening through the center dynamics of the dual long-range operator, which has no natural Schrödinger form. We first establish the result for trigonometric polynomial potentials and then pass to general analytic potentials by controlling the dependence on the truncation dimension. The proof combines a discrete Hellmann--Feynman identity, dimension-free Aubry duality in weighted analytic norms, and a quantitative cone argument based on pre-monotonicity. These estimates ensure that the gaps survive in the analytic limit. Our results establish analytic stability of the Dry Ten Martini Problem in the supercritical regime and give a partial answer to a question of M. Shamis on the persistence of periodic spectral gaps.

Asymmetry of a class of Mellin transforms via bounded solutions

We introduce a family of parametrized non-homogeneous linear complex differential equations on $[1,\infty)$, depending on a complex parameter $s$ in the critical strip. We identify sufficient conditions on the non-homogeneous term that induce a structural asymmetry between the solutions corresponding to the parameters $s$ and $1-s$. More precisely, if both solutions with initial value $1$ are bounded on $[1,\infty)$, then necessarily $\Re(s)=\tfrac12$. The initial condition associated with the unique bounded solution corresponding to a parameter $s$ represents a zero of the Mellin transform associated with the non-homogeneous term at the point $s$.

Self-similar Delone sets and Pisot numbers

We consider Delone point patterns with self-similarity. Under mild conditions, the similarity factor is a Pisot number if and only if the pattern is uniformly discrete. The classical case is a Meyer set $Λ$ with $Λ\supset θΛ$ for some $θ>1,$ for which $θ$ must be a Pisot number or a Salem number. When $Λ$ contains several similar copies of itself, the case of a Salem number drops out for $θ<2.$ On the other hand, strictly self-similar patterns with a Pisot factor must be Meyer sets. Various examples are given.
