Geometry/Dynamical Systems Seminar
The Cartan Geometry of the Rotating Kepler Problem
In this talk we shall discuss the Cartan geometry of the rotating Kepler problem. The rotating Kepler problem appears as the limit of the restricted planar three-body body when one of the masses goes to zero. As such, this problem plays the role of a simple approximation. We shall discuss the Cartan curvature and some of its relations with indices in the three-body problem. This is joint work with Kai Cieliebak and Urs Frauenfelder.
