We prove a conjecture of Ambrus, Ball and Erd{e}lyi that equally spaced points maximize the minimum of discrete potentials on the unit circle whenever the potential is of the form sum_{k=1}^n f(d(z,z_k)), where $f:[0,pi]to [0,infty]$ is non-increasing and strictly convex and $d(z,w)$ denotes the geodesic distance between $z$ and $w$ on the circle.

We derive the complete asymptotic expansion in terms of powers of $N$ for the geodesic $f$-energy of $N$ equally spaced points on a rectifiable simple closed curve $Gamma$ in ${mathbb R}^p$, $pgeq2$, as $N to infty$. For $f$ decreasing and convex, such a point configuration minimizes the $f$-energy $sum_{j eq k}f(d(mathbf{x}_j, mathbf{x}_k))$, where $d$ is the geodesic distance (with respect to $Gamma$) between points on $Gamma$. Completely monotonic functions, analytic kernel functions, Laurent series, and weighted kernel functions $f$ are studied. % Of particular interest are the geodesic Riesz potential $1/d^s$ ($s eq 0$) and the geodesic logarithmic potential $log(1/d)$. By analytic continuation we deduce the expansion for all complex values of $s$.
We consider periodic energy problems in Euclidean space with a special emphasis on long-range potentials that cannot be defined through the usual infinite sum. One of our main results builds on more recent developments of Ewald summation to define the periodic energy corresponding to a large class of long-range potentials. Two particularly interesting examples are the logarithmic potential and the Riesz potential when the Riesz parameter is smaller than the dimension of the space. For these examples, we use analytic continuation methods to provide concise formulas for the periodic kernel in terms of the Epstein Hurwitz Zeta function. We apply our energy definition to deduce several properties of the minimal energy including the asymptotic order of growth and the distribution of points in energy minimizing configurations as the number of points becomes large. We conclude with some detailed calculations in the case of one dimension, which shows the utility of this approach.
Weyl points are degenerate points on the spectral bands at which energy bands intersect conically. They are the origins of many novel physical phenomena and have attracted much attention recently. In this paper, we investigate the existence of such points in the spectrum of the 3-dimensional Schr{o}dinger operator $H = - Delta +V(textbf{x})$ with $V(textbf{x})$ being in a large class of periodic potentials. Specifically, we give very general conditions on the potentials which ensure the existence of 3-fold Weyl points on the associated energy bands. Different from 2-dimensional honeycomb structures which possess Dirac points where two adjacent band surfaces touch each other conically, the 3-fold Weyl points are conically intersection points of two energy bands with an extra band sandwiched in between. To ensure the 3-fold and 3-dimensional conical structures, more delicate, new symmetries are required. As a consequence, new techniques combining more symmetries are used to justify the existence of such conical points under the conditions proposed. This paper provides comprehensive proof of such 3-fold Weyl points. In particular, the role of each symmetry endowed to the potential is carefully analyzed. Our proof extends the analysis on the conical spectral points to a higher dimension and higher multiplicities. We also provide some numerical simulations on typical potentials to demonstrate our analysis.
The paper contains constructions of Hilbert systems for the action of the circle group $T$ using subgroups of implementable Bogoljubov unitaries w.r.t. Fock representations of the Fermion algebra for suitable data of the selfdual framework: ${cal H}$ is the reference Hilbert space, $Gamma$ the conjugation and $P$ a basis projection on ${cal H}.$ The group $C({spec} {cal Z}to T)$ of $T$-valued functions on ${spec} {cal Z}$ turns out to be isomorphic to the stabilizer of ${cal A}$. In particular, examples are presented where the center ${cal Z}$ of the fixed point algebra ${cal A}$ can be calculated explicitly.
We extend the work by Mastroianni and Szabados regarding the barycentric interpolant introduced by J.-P. Berrut in 1988, for equally spaced nodes. We prove fully their first conjecture and present a proof of a weaker version of their second conjecture. More importantly than proving these conjectures, we present a sharp description of the asymptotic error incurred by the interpolants when the derivative of the interpolated function is absolutely continuous, which is a class of functions broad enough to cover most functions usually found in practice. We also contribute to the solution of the broad problem they raised regarding the order of approximation of these interpolants, by showing that they have order of approximation of order 1/n for functions with derivatives of bounded variation.
