In the second part of the talk\, we explain how to obtain the existenc e of a special type of braid solutions where one body in a central configu ration of n bodies is replaced by a pair of bodies rotating uniformly arou nd its center of mass. In these solutions n−1 bodies and the center of mas s of the pair winds around the origin q times\, while the pair of bodies w inds around its center of mass p times. The proof uses blow-up techniques to separate the (n+1)-body problem as the n-body problem\, the Kepler prob lem\, and a coupling which is small if the distance of the pair is small. The formulation is variational and the result is obtained by applying a Ly apunov-Schmidt reduction and the use of the equivariant Lyusternik-Schnire lmann category.\n DTSTART:20190923T200000Z DTEND:20190923T210000Z LOCATION:Room 1104\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Carlos García Azpeitia\, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México URL:/mathstat/channels/event/carlos-garcia-azpeitia-un iversidad-nacional-autonoma-de-mexico-300845 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
