We study probability measures that minimize the Riesz energy with respect to the geodesic distance $\vartheta (x,y)$ on projective spaces $\mathbb{FP}^d$ (such energies arise from the 1959 conjecture of Fejes T\'oth about sums of non-obtuse…

We address in this work the problem of minimizing quantum entropies under local constraints. We suppose macroscopic quantities such as the particle density, current, and kinetic energy are fixed at each point of $\Rm^d$, and look for a…

We consider the Calder\'on-Zygmund kernels $K_ {\alpha,n}(x)=(x_i^{2n-1}/|x|^{2n-1+\alpha})_{i=1}^d$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $0<\alpha\leq 1$ and $n\in\mathbb{N}$. We show that, on the plane, for $0<\alpha<1$, the capacity associated to the…

For "Riesz-like" kernels $K(x,y)=f(|x-y|)$ on $A\times A$, where $A$ is a compact $d$-regular set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^p$, we prove a minimum principle for potentials $U_K^\mu=\int K(x,y)d\mu(x)$, where $\mu$ is a Borel measure supported on…

We establish lower semi-continuity and strict convexity of the energy functionals for a large class of vector equilibrium problems in logarithmic potential theory. This in particular implies the existence and uniqueness of a minimizer for…

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 consider a non-local interaction energy over bounded densities of fixed mass $m$. We prove that under certain regularity assumptions on the interaction kernel these energies admit minimizers given by characteristic functions of sets when…

In any dimension $N \geq 1$, for given mass $m > 0$ and for the $C^1$ energy functional \begin{equation*} I(u):=\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|\nabla u|^2dx-\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}F(u)dx, \end{equation*} we revisit the classical problem of…

This paper is concerned with a study of the classical isoperimetric problem modified by an addition of a non-local repulsive term. We characterize existence, non-existence and radial symmetry of the minimizers as a function of mass in the…
