In this paper we introduce a model for hard spheres interacting through attractive Riesz type potentials, and we study its thermodynamic limit. We show that the tail energy enforces optimal packing and round macroscopic shapes.

We show that among antipodal $2d$-point configurations on the sphere $S^{d-1}$ in $\mathbb R^d$, the set of vertices of a regular cross-polytope inscribed in $S^{d-1}$ uniquely solves the best-covering problem (this is new for $d\geq 5$)…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, suppose we are interested in selecting a sequence of vertices $(x_j)_{j=1}^n$ such that $\left\{x_1, \dots, x_k\right\}$ is `well-distributed' uniformly in $k$. We describe a greedy algorithm motivated by potential…
