Almost all 3-body relative equilibria on $ \mathbb S^2 $ and $ \mathbb H^2 $ are inclined

We answer here a question posed by F. Diacu in 2012 that asked whether there exist relative equilibria on $ \mathbb S^2 $ and $ \mathbb H^2 $ that move in a plane non-perpendicular to the rotation axis. For 3-body non-geodesic ordinary central configurations on $ \mathbb S^2 $ and $ \mathbb H^2 $, we find all relative equilibria that move in a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis. We also show that the set of shapes of 3-body non-geodesic ordinary central configurations on $ \mathbb S^2 $ and $ \mathbb H^2 $ is a 3-dimensional manifold. Then we conclude that almost all 3-body relative equilibria move in planes non-perpendicular to the rotation axis.
