On some necessary conditions for double pyramidal central configurations with concave heptagon for any given ratio of masses, the existence and uniqueness of a class of double pyramidal central configurations with concave heptagon base for nine-body problems is proved in this paper, and the range of the ratio cr of the circularity radius of the heptagon to the half-height of the double pyramidal central configuration involved in this class configurations is obtained, which is in the interval （√3/3,1.099 600 679）, and the configuration involved in the bodies with any σ∈ （√3/3, 1.099 600 679） can form a central configuration which is a uniquely central configuration is proved.
Two cases of the nested configurations in R3 consisting of two regular quadrilaterals are discussed. One case of them do not form central configuration, the other case can be central configuration. In the second case the existence and uniqueness of the central configuration are studied. If the configuration is a central configuration, then all masses of outside layer are equivalent, similar to the masses of inside layer. At the same time the following relation between r(the ratio of the sizes) and mass ratio b = m/m must be satisfied in which the masses at outside layer are not less than the masses at inside layer, and the solution of this kind of central configuration is unique for the given ratio (6) of masses.
Let M be an n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold with or without boundary,and its Ricci curvature Ric M≥n-1.The paper obtains an inequality for the first eigenvalue η 1 of M with mixed boundary condition,which is a generalization of the results of Lichnerowicz,Reilly,Escobar and Xia.It is also proved that η 1≥n for certain n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary,which is an extension of the work of Cheng,Li and Yau.
