A very fundamental geometric problem on finite systems of spheres was independently phrased by Kneser (1955) and Poulsen (1954). According to their well-known conjecture if a finite set of balls in Euclidean space is repositioned so that…
We investigate the minimal Riesz s-energy problem for positive measures on the d-dimensional unit sphere S^d in the presence of an external field induced by a point charge, and more generally by a line charge. The model interaction is that…
We generalize the Riesz potential of a compact domain in $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ by introducing a renormalization of the $r^{\alpha-m}$-potential for $\alpha\le0$. This can be considered as generalization of the dual mixed volumes of convex bodies…
We consider two related problems: the first is the minimization of the "Coulomb renormalized energy" of Sandier-Serfaty, which corresponds to the total Coulomb interaction of point charges in a uniform neutralizing background (or rather…
We review what is known, unknown and expected about the mathematical properties of Coulomb and Riesz gases. Those describe infinite configurations of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ interacting with the Riesz potential $\pm |x|^{-s}$ (resp.…
We study a large family of axisymmetric Riesz-type singular interaction potentials with anisotropy in three dimensions. We generalize some of the results of our recent work in two dimensions to the present setting. For potentials with…
The Riesz gas in one-dimension consists of particles interacting via a pair potential, ${\rm sgn}(s) |x - x'|^{-s}$, $s \ne 0$ and $-\log | x - x'|$ for $s=0$. In the infinite density limit, with the particle support the interval $[-1,1]$,…
We construct a homeomorphism between the compact regular locale of integrals on a Riesz space and the locale of (valuations) on its spectrum. In fact, we construct two geometric theories and show that they are biinterpretable. The…
In this work we prove the following: let $K$ be a convex body in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 3$, contained in the interior of the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $p\in \mathbb{R}^n$ be a point such that, from each point…
For some class of mappings, which are generalization of space quasiisometries, an upper estimate for a measure of image of a ball is obtained. As consequence, it is obtained one analog of Schwartz lemma for mappings mentioned above. Results…
We study harmonic maps from degenerating Riemann surfaces with uniformly bounded energy and show the so-called generalized energy identity. We find conditions that are both necessary and sufficient for the compactness in $W^{1,2}$ and…
Let $A$ be a compact $d$-rectifiable set embedded in Euclidean space $\RR^p$, $d\le p$. For a given continuous distribution $\sigma(x)$ with respect to $d$-dimensional Hausdorff measure on $A$, our earlier results provided a method for…
We consdier in dimension four weakly convergent sequences of approximate biharmonic maos into sphere with bi-tension fields bounded in $L^p$ for some $p>1$. We prove an energy identity that accounts for the loss of Hessian energies by the…
We study the asymptotic equidistribution of points near arbitrary compact sets of positive capacity in $\R^d,\ d\ge 2$. Our main tools are the energy estimates for Riesz potentials. We also consider the quantitative aspects of this…
In the d dimensional Euclidean space, any set of n+1 independent random points, uniformly distributed in the interior of a unit ball of center O, determines almost surely a circumsphere of center C and of radius R, with n positive and less…
It is shown that the supports of measures minimizing weakly repulsive energies on Riemannian manifolds with sectional curvature bounded below do not have concentration points. This extends the results of Bj\"orck and Carrillo, Figalli, and…
We develop an exact method for computing the Casimir energy between arbitrary compact objects, either dielectrics or perfect conductors. The energy is obtained as an interaction between multipoles, generated by quantum current fluctuations.…
We consider Riesz-type nonlocal interaction energies over polygons. We prove the analog of the Riesz inequality in this discrete setting for triangles and quadrilaterals, and obtain that among all $N$-gons with fixed area, the nonlocal…
A new approach to analyze the properties of the energy-momentum tensor $T(z)$ of conformal field theories on generic Riemann surfaces (RS) is proposed. $T(z)$ is decomposed into $N$ components with different monodromy properties, where $N$…
We introduce and study the unconstrained polarization (or Chebyshev) problem which requires to find an $N$-point configuration that maximizes the minimum value of its potential over a set $A$ in $p$-dimensional Euclidean space. This problem…
