Abstract

In this paper we consider the minimal energy problem on the sphere S d for Riesz potentials with external fields. Fundamental existence, uniqueness, and characterization results are derived about the associated equilibrium measure. The discrete problem and the corresponding weighted Fekete points are investigated. As an application we obtain the separation of the minimal s-energy points for d – 2 < s < d. The explicit form of the separation constant is new even for the classical case of s = d – 1.
