On some exceptional cases in the integrability of the three-body problem

Abstract

We consider the Newtonian planar three--body problem with positive masses $m_1$, $m_2$, $m_3$. We prove that it does not have an additional first integral meromorphic in the complex neighborhood of the parabolic Lagrangian orbit besides three exceptional cases $\sum m_i{m}_j/(\sum m_k{)}^2=1/3$, $2^3/3^3$, $2/3^2$ where the linearized equations are shown to be partially integrable. This result completes the non-integrability analysis of the three-body problem started in our previous papers and based of the Morales-Ramis-Ziglin approach.
