Baric?
I really really tried to find a reference to that Gas Giant's sheparding a planatry belt between them theroy(extrapolation) last night.
The original reference I read was around 1996 and I didn't remember the name of the source, but I seem to recall somehting about it being simulated a few times, so my guess is it was a on a univerities site.
Seraching for a similar write up I couldn't find anything that matched exactly what I had read about, expect one close one, that talked about planets forming in gass/dust rings, compressed by a new sun's periodic outbursts.
I did find plenty talking about two or three planets sharing orbits, in a horseshoe formation (?) and about saturns rings forming more moons over time.
I'll keep hunting for it, as I want to reread that thing myself.
