Abstract

For the unit sphere Sd in Euclidean space R(d+1), we show that for d-1<s<d and any N>1, discrete N-point minimal Riesz s-energy configurations are well separated in the sense that the minimal distance between any pair of distinct points in such a configuration is bounded below by C/N(1/d), where C is a positive constant depending on s and d.
