Isoperimetric conjecture for the alpha-Riesz energy

About 12 years old · traced to

Let N≥2N\geq 2, let α∈(0,N)\alpha\in(0,N), and let Iα(K)I_{\alpha}(K) denote the α\alpha-Riesz energy of a convex body K⊂RNK\subset\mathbb{R}^N. For r>0r>0, consider convex bodies with perimeter P(K)=NωNrN−1P(K)=N\omega_N r^{N-1}. Isoperimetric conjecture for the α\alpha-Riesz energy. The ball of radius rr is the unique solution of

min⁡K∈KN, P(K)=NωNrN−1Iα(K).\min_{K\in\mathcal{K}_N,\,P(K)=N\omega_N r^{N-1}} I_{\alpha}(K).

The paper has established the corresponding minimization result for the 11-Riesz energy under fixed mean width, including the planar perimeter formulation; this conjecture asks for uniqueness for every α∈(0,N)\alpha\in(0,N) under fixed perimeter.
