An existence proof of a symmetric periodic orbit in the octahedral six-body problem
Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco, Departamento de Matemática, Rua Dom Manoel de Medeiros, s/n, Recife, PE 52171-900, Brasil |
We present a proof of the existence of a periodic orbit for the Newtonian six-body problem with equal masses. This orbit has three double collisions each period and no multiple collisions. Our proof is based on the minimization of the lagrangian action functional on a well chosen class of symmetric loops.
