Richard Montgomery
Richard Montgomery is Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at University of California, Santa Cruz. He is a co-rediscoverer of the surprisingly stable figure eight orbit for the classical three-body problem. His work on the N-body problem uses variational, topological, and differential geometric methods to say new things about this old problem.
