“…For instance, in the Coulomb case
(or
in dimension
), the Wigner Conjecture for Jellium
24 states that electrons embedded in an uniform background of positive charges must crystallize on a triangular and a body‐centered‐cubic (BCC) lattice in dimensions 2 and 3, respectively (see also Refs.
2, 25). This is also called the Abrikosov Conjecture
26 or Vortices Conjecture
27 in the two‐dimensional setting related to the vortices in the Ginzburg‐Landau theory of superconductors of type II.…”
