contents We prove that among all 1-periodic configurations $Γ$ of points on the real line $\mathbb{R}$ the quantities $$ \min_{x \in \mathbb{R}} \sum_{γ\in Γ} e^{- πα(x - γ)^2} \quad \text{and} \quad \max_{x \in \mathbb{R}} \sum_{γ\in Γ} e^{- πα(x - γ)^2}$$ are maximized and minimized, respectively, if and only if the points are equispaced and whenever the number of points $n$ per period is sufficiently large (depending on $α$). This solves the polarization problem for periodic configurations with a Gaussian weight on $\mathbb{R}$ for large $n$. The first result is shown using Fourier series. The second result follows from work of Cohn and Kumar on universal optimality and holds for all $n$ (independent of $α$).
