A special family of symmetric central configurations of the planar 3n–body problem

Abstract
We consider a particular type of symmetric central configurations of the planar 3n–body problem having n equal masses at the vertices of a regular n-gon inscribed on a circle of radius r and 2n masses at the vertices of either a regular or a semiregular concentric 2n–gon inscribed in a circle of radius ar. A semiregular 2n–gon is a 2n–gon having n pairs of vertices symmetric by a reflection of an angle β with respect to the axis of symmetry of the regular n–gon. For this type of symmetric central configurations it is known by symmetry that if the 2n–gon is regular then the masses at the 2n–gon alternate values, whereas if the 2n-gon is semiregular then all the masses at the 2n–gon must be equal. In this talk we analyze the set o values of a (when the 2n–gon is regular) and the set of values of (a, β) (when the 2n–gon is semiregular) that provide central configurations.
