Abstract: We consider the nonexistence of minimizers for the energy containing a nonlocal perimeter with a general kernel $K$, a Riesz potential, and a background potential in $mathbb{R}^N$ with $Ngeq2$ under the volume constraint. We show that the energy has no minimizer for a sufficiently large mass under suitable assumptions on $K$. The proof is based on the partition of a minimizer and the comparison of the sum of the energy for each part with the energy for the original configuration. This strategy is shown in [R.A. Frank, R. Killip, P.T. Nam, 2016] and [D.A. La Manna, 2018]

Review text

The paper studies non-existence of minimizers for a minimization problem in which a measurable set in \(\mathbb{R}^N\), \(N\geq 2\), with prescribed volume is searched for that minimizes an energy that is a sum of three terms: A non-local perimeter with a general kernel, a Riesz potential and the negative of a background potential. Specifically, two results are proved under suitable assumptions on (mainly the growth behavior of) the kernel: \begin{itemize} \item[1.] Any minimizer is necessarily bounded. \item[2.] There is a threshold such that if the prescribed volume is larger than this threshold, then any minimizer is necessarily unbounded. \end{itemize} In the main result, the author combines 1) and 2) to conclude that if the prescribed volume is larger than the threshold, then there are no minimizers.
