Description for Relative Equilibria of the Curved N-Body Problem
Hardback. Provides us to know how to measure the shortest distance between two points of the physical space. This book offers a mathematical proof that, for distances of the order of 10 AU, space is Euclidean. Series: Atlantis Studies in Dynamical Systems. Num Pages: 160 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBKJ; PBWR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 11. Weight in Grams: 405.
The guiding light of this monograph is a question easy to understand but difficult to answer: {What is the shape of the universe? In other words, how do we measure the shortest distance between two points of the physical space? Should we follow a straight line, as on a flat table, fly along a circle, as between Paris and New York, or take some other path, and if so, what would that path look like? If you accept that the model proposed here, which assumes a gravitational law extended to a universe of constant curvature, is a good approximation of ... Read more

Reviews for Relative Equilibria of the Curved N-Body Problem
From the reviews: “The book is divided into 5 parts with several chapters and sections in each. … The book is clear, well written, interesting and easy to read. … The book is an invitation to more research on this topic and it is a nice source of new problems, particularly for people working in celestial mechanics, dynamical systems, ...
