In this paper, we study the planar Newtonian four-body problem with various choices of masses. We prove that there exist infinitely many periodic and quasi-periodic orbits with certain topological type, called retrograde orbits, that minimize the action functional on certain path spaces. On these orbits, two particles revolve around each other in one direction, while the other two particles travel on themselves orbits in opposite direction, respectively. Our proof is based on variational methods inspired by the work of Kuo-Chang Chen.

AbstractBy applying our variational method, we show that there exist 24 local action minimizers connecting two prescribed configurations: a collinear configuration and a double isosceles configuration in {H^{1}([0,1],\chi)} in the planar equal-mass four-body problem. Among the 24 local action minimizers, we prove that the one with the smallest action has no collision singularity and it can be extended to a periodic or quasi-periodic orbit. Furthermore, if all the 24 local action minimizers are free of collision, we show that they can generate sixteen different periodic orbits.
