Abstrakt

Within a scalar model theory of gravity, where the interaction between particles is given by the half-retarded plus half-advanced solution of the scalar wave equation, we consider an N-body problem: We investigate configurations of N particles which form an equilateral N angle and are in helical motion about their common center. We prove that there exists a unique equilibrium configuration and compute the equilibrium radius explicitly in a post-Newtonian expansion.
