A fundamental question in applications is the characterisation of minimisers of these energies; such minimisers correspond to ‘aggregation patterns’ and they are observed experimentally in biological systems and materials science.
In this talk I will discuss the `persistence' of the ellipse as energy minimiser, focusing on a class of perturbations of Coulomb energies.
This is based on ongoing work in collaboration with Joan Mateu, Maria Giovanna Mora, Luca Rondi and Joan Verdera.
