Abstract: We derive bounds and asymptotics for the maximum Riesz polarization quantity ${\displaystyle }$M_n^p(A) := max_{{�old x}_1, {�old x}_2, ldots, {�old x}_n in A} {min_{{�old x} in A}{sum_{j=1}^n{frac{1}{|{�old x} - {�old x}_j|^{p}}}}}${\displaystyle }$ (which is $n$ times the Chebyshev constant) for quite general sets $Asubset{BbbR}^m$ with special focus on the unit sphere and unit ball. We combine elementary averaging arguments with potential theoretic tools to formulate and prove our results. We also give a discrete version of the recent result of Hardin, Kendall, and Saff which solves the Riesz polarization problem for the case when $A$ is the unit circle and $p>0,$ as well as provide an independent proof of their result for $p=4$ that exploits classical polynomial inequalities and yields new estimates. Furthermore, we raise some challenging conjectures.
