abstract
We prove the existence of periodic solutions of the N=(n+1)-body problem starting with n bodies whose reduced motion is close to a non-degenerate central configuration and replacing one of them by the center of mass of a pair of bodies rotating uniformly. When the motion takes place in the standard Euclidean plane, these solutions are a special type of braid solutions obtained numerically by C. Moore. The proof uses blow-up techniques to separate the problem into the n-body problem, the Kepler problem, and a coupling which is small if the distance of the pair is small. The formulation is variational and the result is obtained by applying a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and by using the equivariant Lyusternik-Schnirelmann category.

Steady waves in flows over periodic bottoms
