Abstract:
Consecutive Collision Orbits are – as the name suggests – orbits that start and end in a chosen collision point. They are one of the central orbits studied in Celestial Mechanics and they can be used in space missions to perform a powered flyby manoeuvre. In this talk we will study these orbits from the perspective of symplectic topology. The main tool for this will be Lagrangian Rabinowitz Floer homology, which I will careful introduce without focusing to much on the technical details. With this new tool at hand we will then take a look at the recent results about the existence of consecutive collision orbits obtained in symplectic topology.
