Formic acid, the simplest carboxylic acid, could serve as one of the better fuels for portable devices, vehicles and other energy-related applications in the future.
In order to improve the tumor-targeting ability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for tumor therapy and to avoid the clearance as well as capture by the immune system, there are still...
We prove that the E8 root lattice and the Leech lattice are universally optimal among point configurations in Euclidean spaces of dimensions 8 and 24, respectively. In other words, they minimize energy for every potential function that is a completely monotonic function of squared distance (for example, inverse power laws or Gaussians), which is a strong form of robustness not previously known for any configuration in more than one dimension. This theorem implies their recently shown optimality as sphere packings, and broadly generalizes it to allow for long-range interactions.The proof uses sharp linear programming bounds for energy. To construct the optimal auxiliary functions used to attain these bounds, we prove a new interpolation theorem, which is of independent interest. It reconstructs a radial Schwartz function f from the values and radial derivatives of f and its Fourier transform f at the radii √ 2n for integers n ≥ 1 in R 8 and n ≥ 2 in R 24 . To prove this theorem, we construct an interpolation basis using integral transforms of quasimodular forms, generalizing Viazovska's work on sphere packing and placing it in the context of a more conceptual theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
