✦ Synopsis


We study simultaneous binary collision SBC singularities of L binaries in the planar N-body problem, 2 L F N. We introduce the generalized Levi-Civita transformation and follow it by a new transformation which we call the projective transformation near a SBC singularity. We use this transformation to show the following near a SBC singularity:

Ž . 1 In the generalized Levi-Civita variables, near a SBC singularity, the collection of collision and ejection orbits together with the singularity form a real Ž . analytic submanifold, which we call the collision᎐ejection CE manifold.

Ž . Ž . Ž . 2 Let R R R R be the collection of SBC SBE orbits in phase space, i.e,. in c e the original variables. Then, both R R and R R are real analytic.
