| contents | In this article, we are interested in convexity properties of the free energy for stationary point processes on $\mathbb R$ w.r.t.\ a new geometry inspired by optimal transport. We will show for a rich class of pairwise interaction energies
A) quantified strict convexity of the free energy implying uniqueness of minimizers
B) existence of a gradient flow curve of the free energy w.r.t. the new metric converging exponentially fast to the unique minimizer.
Examples for energies for which A holds include logarithmic or Riesz interactions with parameter $0<s<1$, examples for which A and B hold are hypersingular Riesz or Yukawa interactions. |
