In this paper, we investigate discrete logarithmic energy problems in the unit circle. We study the equilibrium configuration of $n$ electrons and $n-1$ pairs of external protons of charge $+1/2$. It is shown that all the critical points of…
We analyse several constructions of random point sets on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{3}\subset\mathbb{R}^4$ evaluating and comparing them through their discrete logarithmic energy: \begin{equation*} E_0(\omega_N) = \sum_{\substack{i, j=1\\ i…
We present and analyze a multiscale method for wave propagation problems, posed on spatial networks. By introducing a coarse scale, using a finite element space interpolated onto the network, we construct a discrete multiscale space using…
We study "distance spheres": the set of points lying at constant distance from a fixed arbitrary subset $K$ of $[0,1]^d$. We show that, away from the regions where $K$ is "too dense" and a set of small volume, we can decompose $[0,1]^d$…
In this article we investigate the $N$-point min-max and the max-min polarization problems on the sphere for a large class of potentials in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We derive universal lower and upper bounds on the polarization of spherical designs…
Combining the ideas of Riesz $s$-energy and $\log$-energy, we introduce the so-called $s,\log^t$-energy. In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behaviors for $N,t$ fixed and $s$ varying of minimal $N$-point $s,\log^t$-energy constants…
We provide new answers about the placement of mass on spheres so as to minimize energies of pairwise interactions. We find optimal measures for the $p$-frame energies, i.e. energies with the kernel given by the absolute value of the inner…
In this note we will discuss a potentially interesting extension of some recent results on primitive solutions to completely integrable partial differential equations. We will discuss a family distributions that are holomorphic on the…
We develop a systematic framework for constructing spherical harmonics on the two-dimensional unit sphere as superpositions of Gaussian beams whose poles form well-separated point configurations. The distributional and analytic properties…
We study stationary solutions of McKean-Vlasov equation on a high-dimensional sphere and other compact Riemannian manifolds. We extend the equivalence of the energetic problem formulation to the manifold setting and characterize critical…
We make an observation which doubles the exponent of distribution in certain Affine Sieve problems, such as those considered by Liu-Sarnak, Kontorovich, and Kontorovich-Oh. As a consequence, we decrease the known bounds on the saturation…
The Riesz $s$-energy of an $N$-point configuration in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{p}$ is defined as the sum of reciprocal $s$-powers of all mutual distances in this system. In the limit $s\to0$ the Riesz $s$-potential $1/r^s$ ($r$ the…
A set ${X}_{N}=\{x_1,\ldots,x_N\}$ of $N$ points on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^d,\,d\geq 2$ is a spherical $t$-design if the average of any polynomial of degree at most $t$ over the sphere is equal to the average value of the polynomial…
This paper provides triangular spherical designs for the complex unit sphere $\Omega^d$ by exploiting the natural correspondence between the complex unit sphere in $d$ dimensions and the real unit sphere in $2d-1$. The existence of…
Determinantal point processes exhibit an inherent repulsive behavior, thus providing examples of very evenly distributed point sets on manifolds. In this paper, we study the so-called harmonic ensemble, defined in terms of Laplace…
In the singularly perturbed limit corresponding to a large diffusivity ratio between two components in a reaction-diffusion (RD) system, quasi-equilibrium spot patterns are often admitted, producing a solution that concentrates at a…
For a positively charged insulated d-dimensional sphere we investigate how the distribution of this charge is affected by proximity to a nearby positive or negative point charge when the system is governed by a Riesz s-potential 1/r^s, s>0,…
We study a variant of the equidistribution of mass conjecture on the sphere posed by B\"ocherer, Sarnak, and Schulze-Pillot: quantum unique ergodicity in shrinking sets. Conditionally on the generalized Lindel\"of hypothesis, we show that…
Smale's Seventh Problem asks for an efficient algorithm to generate a configuration of $n$ points on the sphere that nearly minimizes the logarithmic energy. As a candidate starting configuration for this problem, Armentano, Beltr\'an and…
In their seminal 1981 article, Sacks-Uhlenbeck famously proved the existence of non-trivial harmonic 2-spheres in every closed Riemannian manifold with non-zero second homotopy group. Their arguments heavily rely on PDE techniques. The…
