On lattice hexagonal crystallization for non-monotone potentials

S Luo, J Wei - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
We prove that for α≥ 1, among 2d unit density lattices, min L∑ P∈ L (| P| 2− β) e− π α| P| 2
is achieved at hexagonal lattice for β≤ 1 2 π α and does not exist for β> 1 2 π α⁠. Here the …
