Equidistribution of jellium energy for Coulomb and Riesz interactions (Q1702116)

The authors study the equilibrium properties of a system of \(n\) points in the full space of dimension \(d\geq 1,\) interacting via Riesz kernel interactions and confined by an external field or potential \(V.\) It is proved that the energy at the micro-scale in \(\mathbb{R}^d\) for the optimal point configurations appearing in Coulomb gases at zero temperature is equidistributed.
