Noncollision Singularities in a Planar Four-body Problem

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, we show that there is a Cantor set of initial conditions in the planar four-body problem such that all four bodies escape to infinity in a finite time, avoiding collisions. This proves the Painlevé conjecture for the four-body case, and thus settles the last open case of the conjecture.
