We propose a notion of distance between two parametrized planar curves, called their discrepancy, and defined intuitively as the minimal amount of deformation needed to deform the source curve into the target curve. A precise definition of…

We study a physical system of $N$ interacting particles in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq1$, subject to pair repulsion and confined by an external field. We establish a large deviations principle for their empirical distribution as $N$ tends to…

Let R_s(r)=sign(s)/r^s be the Riesz s-energy potential. (This is the usual power-law potential.) This monograph proves the existence of a computable number S=15.048... such that the triangular bi-pyramid is the unique minimizer with respect…

We study configurations of points on the unit sphere that minimize potential energy for a broad class of potential functions (viewed as functions of the squared Euclidean distance between points). Call a configuration sharp if there are m…

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over a number field k. In this paper, we define the ``global discrepancy'' of a finite set Z of algebraic points on E which in a precise sense measures how far the set is from being adelically…

The Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s):= \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 1/n^s$ can be interpreted as the energy per point of the lattice $\mathbb{Z}$, interacting pairwisely via the Riesz potential $1/r^s$. Given a parameter $\Delta\in (0,1]$, this…

A growing body of theoretical and empirical evidence shows that the global steady-state distributions of many equilibrium and nonequilibrium systems approximately satisfy an analogue of the Boltzmann distribution, with a local dynamical…

We consider the isentropic compressible Euler system in 2 space dimensions with pressure law $p({\rho}) = {\rho}^2$ and we show the existence of classical Riemann data, i.e. pure jump discontinuities across a line, for which there are…

Stolarsky [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 41 (1973), 575--582] showed a beautiful relation that balances the sums of distances of points on the unit sphere and their spherical cap $\mathbb{L}_2$-discrepancy to give the distance integral of the…

We investigate the energy landscape of the spherical mixed even p-spin model near its maximum energy. We relate the distance between pairs of near maxima to the support of the Parisi measure at zero temperature. We then provide an algebraic…

The Riesz-Sobolev inequality provides an upper bound, in integral form, for the convolution of indicator functions of subsets of Euclidean space. We formulate and prove a sharper form of the inequality. This can be equivalently phrased as a…
