Abstract:

We deduce that charged liquid droplets minimizing Debye-Huckel-type free energy are spherical in the small charge regime. The variational model was proposed by Muratov and Novaga in 2016 to avoid the ill-posedness of the classical one. By combining a recent (partial) regularity result with Selection Principle of Cicalese and Leonardi, we prove that the ball is the unique minimizer in the small charge regime.
