Theoretical derivation reveals general gravitational potentials satisfying the shell theorem in spaces of constant curvature, demonstrating broad applicability across dimensions and nontrivial...
A gravitational potential has the spherical property when the field outside any uniform spherical shell is indistinguishable from that of a point mass at the center. We present the general potentials that possess this property on constant curvature spaces, using the Euler-Poisson-Darboux identity for spherical means. Our results are consistent with known findings in flat three-dimensional space and reduce to Gurzadyan's cosmological theorem when the rescaling factor is exactly $1$. Our approach naturally extends to nontrivial spatial topologies.
