 : Determining properties of central configurations of the N-Body Problem is an old but fruitful area of

mathematics.Previous approaches to proving finiteness results for central configurations of the N-body problem do not appear to scale well as the number of bodies is increased.The current best result is for the 5-body problem, and it does not completely prove the finiteness in that case.We hope to develop alternative methods by studying the deformation of the problem through a more general (homogeneous) potential and exploiting Morse theory.Several theorems on the regular polygon in this context will be presented, and many conjectures.
