An integral invariant is a generalization of first integrals to differential forms. Although this mathematical technique is more difficult, the integral invariants allow to obtain new properties for systems which have already well-known first integrals. Integral invariant of first order correspond to a ‘local first integral’ near any solution of motion. In this work I obtain an ‘11th local first integral’ for the gravitational n-body problem, or any homogeneous n-body problem as planetary systems. As this local first integral contains a secular term, a discussion of the stability is obtained. The integral invariant is used for the construction of very particular solutions (Levi Civita's or Poincaré's singular solutions). These solutions realize conditional maximum or minimum of the contraction of the system.
