Title: On the integrability of generalized $N$-center problems

Abstract: In this paper, we study the rational integrability of the $N$-center problem with rational weak and moderate forces. We show that the problem is not rationally integrable for all but a finite number of values $\alpha\in]0,2[$, where $\alpha$ is the order of the singularities. We identify the remaining cases and give the necessary conditions for integrability.
