Abstract
We prove that, for some potentials (including the Newtonian one and the potential of Helmholtz vortices in the plane), central configurations with nonzero total mass consisting of two homothetic polygons of arbitrary size can only occur if the masses at each polygon are equal. The same result is true for many polygons as long as the ratios between the radii of the polygons are sufficiently large.
