Abstract: Consider a collection of particles interacting through an attractive-repulsive potential given as a difference of power laws and normalized so that its unique minimum occurs at unit separation. For a range of exponents corresponding to mild repulsion and strong attraction, we show that the minimum energy configuration is uniquely attained -- apart from translations and rotations -- by equidistributing the particles over the vertices of a regular top-dimensional simplex (i.e. an equilateral triangle in two dimensions and regular tetrahedron in three). If the attraction is not assumed to be strong, we show these configurations are at least local energy minimizers in the relevant metric from optimal transportation, as are all of the other uncountably many unbalanced configurations with the same support. We infer the existence of phase transitions. The proof is based on a simple isodiametric variance bound which characterizes regular simplices: it shows that among probability measures on whose supports have at most unit diameter, the variance around the mean is maximized precisely by those measures which assign mass to each vertex of a (unit-diameter) regular simplex.
