Albouy, Alain; Chenciner, Alain The \(n\)-body problem and mutual distances. (Le problème des \(n\) corps et les distances mutuelles.) (French) Zbl 0919.70005 Invent. Math. 131, No. 1, 151-184 (1998). The authors consider mutual distances in the \(n\)-body problem and discuss the symmetries the homographic motion, and Sundman’s inequality. For a three-body system, they derive the equations of equilibrium configurations.
