Abstract:
In this talk, we introduce new geometric properties for action minimizers connecting two free boundaries in the three body problem. As its application, we can show that the action minimizer connecting a collinear configuration with a binary collision and an isosceles configuration must be one dimensional and it must coincide with the Schubart orbit.
