On the clustering phase transition in self-gravitating N-body systems
Monica Cerruti-Sola, Piero Cipriani, Marco Pettini
The thermodynamic behaviour of self-gravitating -body systems has been worked out by borrowing a standard method from Molecular Dynamics: the time averages of suitable quantitie…

A geometric interpretation of integrable motions
Cecilia Clementi, Marco Pettini
Integrability, one of the classic issues in galactic dynamics and in general in celestial mechanics, is here revisited in a Riemannian geometric framework, where newtonian motions…

Strong Chaos in the N-body problem and Microcanonical Thermodynamics of collisionless self gravitating systems
Piero Cipriani, Marco Pettini
The dynamical justifications which lie at the basis of an effective Statistical Mechanics for self gravitating systems are formulated, analyzing some among the well known obstacles…
