In this paper, we are interested in a general type of nonlocal energy, defined on a ball $B_R\subset \mathbb R^n$ for some $R>0$ as \[ \mathcal E (u, B_R)= \iint_{\mathbb R^{2n}\setminus (\mathcal C B_R)^2} F( u(x)-u(y),x-y)\, dx \,…

We show that the support of any local minimizer of the interaction energy consists of isolated points whenever the interaction potential is of class $C^2$ and mildly repulsive at the origin; moreover, if the minimizer is global, then its…
