Equivalence of Rigid Motions and Relative Equilibria in the N-Body Problem on the Two-Sphere
Toshiaki Fujiwara, Ernesto Pérez-Chavela, Shuqiang Zhu
We investigate the relationship between rigid motions and relative equilibria in the N-body problem on the two-dimensional sphere, S2. We prove that any rigid motion of the N-body…
