The author presents several new results concerning periodic critical points and local minimizers of a nonlocal isoperimetric problem arising in the modeling of diblock copolymers consisting in minimizing a functional that can be written as the variational limit (in the sense of the \(\Gamma\)-convergence) of the \(\varepsilon\)-diffuse Ohta-Kawasaki energy. The main result presents a way to construct (locally minimizing) periodic critical points whose shape resemble that of any given strictly stable constant mean curvature (periodic) hypersurface. Note also that several of the intermediate and auxiliary results are of interest as well.
