The search for optimal configurations of pointsets, the most notable examples being the problems of Kepler and Thompson, have an extremely rich history with diverse applications in physics, chemistry, communication theory, and scientific…

We develop a theory for distributed branch points and investigate their role in determining the shape and influencing the mechanics of thin hyperbolic objects. We show that branch points are the natural topological defects in hyperbolic…

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…

In this work we present a study on the characterization of ordered and disordered hyperuniform point distributions on spherical surfaces. In spite of the extensive literature on disordered hyperuniform systems in Euclidean geometries, to…

It is shown that for the spherically-symmetric and static systems the hypotheses posed by Yang and Radinschi and by Vagenas can be related to the particular distribution of the source. Simple proofs are given and a number of examples are…

For general dimension $d$ we prove the equidistribution of energy at the micro-scale in $\mathbb R^d$, for the optimal point configurations appearing in Coulomb gases at zero temperature. At the microscopic scale, i.e. after blow-up at the…

We present a generalization of a family of points on $\mathbb{S}^2$, the Diamond ensemble, containing collections of $N$ points on $\mathbb{S}^2$ with very small logarithmic energy for all $N\in\mathbb{N}$. We extend this construction to…

Optimal packing of spheres in $\mathbb R^d$ is studied by optimization of the energy $E$ (effective conductivity) of composites with ideally conducting spherical inclusions. It is demonstrated that the minimum of $E$ over locations of…

We prove a conjecture which was recently formulated by Maia, Montefusco, Pellacci saying that minimal energy solutions of the saturated nonlinear Schr\"odinger system \begin{align*} - \Delta u + \lambda_1 u &= \frac{\alpha u(\alpha…

In a microcanonical ensemble (constant $NVE$, hard reflecting walls) and in a molecular dynamics ensemble (constant $NVE\mathbf{PG}$, periodic boundary conditions) with a number $N$ of smooth elastic hard spheres in a $d$-dimensional volume…

It has long been known that a uniform distribution of matter cannot produce a Poisson distribution of density fluctuations on very large scales $1/k > ct$ by the motion of discrete particles over timescale $t$. The constraint is part of…

Consider the integer points lying on the sphere of fixed radius projected onto the unit sphere. Duke showed that, on congruence conditions for the radius squared, these points equidistribute. To further this study of equidistribution, we…

In this paper we study the geometric discrepancy of explicit constructions of uniformly distributed points on the two-dimensional unit sphere. We show that the spherical cap discrepancy of random point sets, of spherical digital nets and of…

Minimum Riesz energy problems in the presence of an external field are analyzed for a condenser with touching plates. We obtain sufficient and/or necessary conditions for the solvability of these problems in both the unconstrained and the…

Spherical $t$-designs are finite point sets on the unit sphere that enable exact integration of polynomials of degree at most $t$ via equal-weight quadrature. This concept has recently been extended to spherical $t$-design curves by the use…

A low frequency approximation of the discrete Sommerfeld diffraction problems, involving the scattering of a time harmonic lattice wave incident on square lattice by a discrete Dirichlet or a discrete Neumann half-plane, is investigated. It…

We prove existence and regularity of minimisers for the Canham-Helfrich energy in the class of weak (possibly branched and bubbled) immersions of the $2$-sphere. This solves (the spherical case) of the minimisation problem proposed by…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact smooth $3$-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary. It is proved that the energy-critical nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation is globally well-posed for small initial data in $H^1(M)$, provided that a certain…

In this paper, we prove an extension theorem for spheres of square radii in $\mathbb{F}_q^d$, which improves a result obtained by Iosevich and Koh (2010). Our main tool is a new point-hyperplane incidence bound which will be derived via a…

We study random spherical harmonics at shrinking scales. We compare the mass assigned to a small spherical cap with its area, and find the smallest possible scale at which, with high probability, the discrepancy between them is small…
