In the current article, we study the kite four-body problems with the goal of identifying global regions in the mass parameter space which admits a corresponding central configuration of the four masses. We consider two different types of symmetrical configurations. In each of the two cases, the existence of a continuous family of central configurations for positive masses is shown. We address the dynamical aspect of periodic solutions in the settings considered and show that the minimizers of the classical action functional restricted to the homographic solutions are the Keplerian elliptical solutions. Finally, we provide numerical explorations via Poincaré cross-sections, to show the existence of periodic and quasiperiodic solutions within the broader dynamical context of the four-body problem.

The two-body problem in central fields (reducible to a central-force problem) models a lot of concrete astronomical situations. The corresponding vector fields (in Cartesian and polar coordinates, extended via collision-blow-up and infinity-blow-up transformations) exhibit nice symmetries that form eight-element Abelian groups endowed with an idempotent structure. All these groups are isomorphic, which is not a trivial result, given the different structures of the corresponding phase spaces. Each of these groups contains seven four-element subgroups isomorphic to Klein?s group. These symmetries are of much help in understanding various characteristics of the global flow of the general problem or of a concrete problem at hand, and are essential in searching for periodic orbits.
