Abstract

Consider the equal mass planar 44-body problem with a potential corresponding to an inverse \textit{cube} force. The Jacobi-Maupertuis principle reparametrizes the dynamics as geodesics of a certain metric. We examine the curvature of this geodesic flow in the reduced space on the collinear and parallelogram invariant surfaces and derive some dynamical consequences. This proves a numerical conjecture of [4].
