Courbures riemanniennes dans le probleŠme plan des trois corps Mihail BARBOSU Laboratoire des SysteŠmes Dynamiques, Unite de Formation et Recherche de Mecanique, Universite‚ Paris 6, Tour 66, 4 Place Jussieu, 75252 PARIS CEDEX 05, FRANCE Abstract : The riemannian (sectional) curvatures in the configuration space of the planar three body problem are given in order to develop a qualitative study of the problem. Concrete results are presented in some particular cases, where we can conclude on the sign of these curvatures. This will give informations on the stability of the trajectories .
