Relativistic effects in the dynamics of a particle in a Coulomb field

Abstract

We prove that Bertrand's property cannot occur in a special-relativistic scenario using the properties of the period function of planar centres. We also explore some integrability properties of the relativistic Coulomb problem and the asymptotic behavior of collision solutions.
