The Geometry of Optimal and Near-Optimal Riesz Energy Configurations
This thesis discusses recent and classical results concerning the asymptotic properties (as N gets large) of ``ground state' configurations of N particles restricted to a compact set A of Hausdorff dimension d interacting through through an inverse power law 1/r^s for some s>0. It has been o...
