For potentials in $1/r^\\alpha$ with $\\alpha\\in (0,2)$ we prove the existence of homogeneous weak KAM solutions. We show that such solutions are related to viscosity solutions of another Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the sphere of normal configurations. As an application we prove for the Newtonian three body problem that there are no smooth homogeneous solutions to the critical Hamilton-Jacobi equation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-08-26T13:22:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35D40", "70F10" ], "keywords": [ "hamilton-jacobi equation", "homogeneous n-body problems", "homogeneous weak kam solutions", "minimizing configurations", "viscosity solutions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1134/S1560354713060063", "journal": "Regular and Chaotic Dynamics", "year": 2013, "month": "Nov", "volume": 18, "number": 6, "pages": 656 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013RCD....18..656M" } } }
