Explicit minimisers for anisotropic Riesz energies
Abstract:
In this paper we characterise the energy minimisers of a class of nonlocal interaction energies where the attraction is quadratic, and the repulsion is Riesz-like and anisotropic. In particular we show that, if the Fourier transform of the repulsive potential is positive, the minimiser is supported on a fully-dimensional ellipsoid, and its density is given by a Barenblatt-type profile. Our technique of proof is based on a Fourier representation of the potential of such measures, that extends a previous formula established by some of the authors in the Coulomb case.

The point in the energy diagram at which the system’s potential energy is the lowest is known as the local minima. The system tends to stay in this position indefinitely unless acted upon by a net force. The slope of the potential energy diagram at the local minima is zero, indicating that zero net force is acting on the system. The...

Take the example of a skater on a parabolic ramp. The potential energy at different points along the ramp will be proportional to the height of the ramp, which varies quadratically with the horizontal position on the ramp. As the skater moves down the ramp from the highest position,...
