No infinite spin in the n-body problem in all dimensions
Abstract
In the planar n-body problem, Moeckel and Montgomery \cite{MM25} showed that there is no infinite spin for total collision solutions, when the reduced and normalized configuration converges to an isolated central configuration. Following their approach, generalizations have been obtained for partial collision solutions and parabolic solutions in the planar case, and for total collision solutions in the spatial cases by various authors, all under the same assumption that the reduced and normalized configuration converges to an isolated central configuration. Here we prove there is no infinite spin for any collision or parabolic solution in all dimensions without such an assumption.
