Lambert's theorem and projective dynamics
We prove that the classical Lambert theorem about the elapsed time on an arc of Keplerian orbit extends without change to the Kepler problem on a space of constant curvature. We prove that the Hooke problem has a property similar to Lambert's theorem, which also extends to the spaces of constant curvature. This article is part of the theme issue 'Topological and geometrical aspects of mass and vortex dynamics'
