It is known that there exist two sets of nontrivial periodic orbits in the planar equal-mass three-body problem: retrograde orbit and prograde orbit. By introducing topological constraints to a two-point free boundary value problem, we show that there exists a new set of periodic orbits for a small interval of rotation angle $\mathit{\theta }$.

A picture of the periodic orbit extended by the action minimizer $\mathcal{P}_0$ with $\theta = \pi/10$. The three dots represent the starting configuration $Q_S$, and the three crosses represent the ending configuration $Q_E$ of $\mathcal{P}_0$. In the graph, the red curve is the trajectory of body 2, the blue curve is for body 1 and the black curve is for body 3.
The configurations $Q_S$ and $Q_E$ are shown, where blue dots represent $q_1$, red dots represent $q_2$ and black dots represent $q_3$. In $Q_S$, three masses are on the $x-$axis with an order $q_{2x} \leq q_{1x} \leq q_{3x}$. In $Q_E$, three masses form an isosceles triangle, whose symmetry axis is a counterclockwise $\theta$ rotation of the $x-$axis. $q_1$ is on the symmetry axis and $q_2$ is above the symmetry axis in $Q_E$.
In each figure, the horizontal axis is $\theta/\pi$, and the vertical axis is the action value $\mathcal{A}$. In each subfigure, the black curve is the graph of the test path's action $\mathcal{A}_{test}$; the purple curve is the graph of $\mathcal{A}_{Euler} = g(\theta)$ in (31) and the red curve is the graph of $f_2(\theta)$ in (31), which is the lower bound of $\mathcal{A}_{col}$.
