Abstract

For any positive real number p, the p-frame potential of N unit vectors X:={x1,…,xN}⊂Rd is defined as FPp,N,d(X)=∑i≠j|〈xi,xj〉|p. In this paper, we focus on this quantity for N=d+1 points and establish uniqueness of minimizers of FPp,d+1,d for all p∈(0,2). Our results completely solve the minimization problem of the p-frame potential when N=d+1, confirming a conjecture posed by Chen, Gonzales, Goodman, Kang and Okoudjou [4].
