Abstract

Let L =√((1)/(\Im(z)))(\mathbb Z⊕ z\mathbb Z) where z ∈ ℍ=\z= x+ i y \hboxor (x,y)∈ℂ: y>0\ be the two dimensional lattices with unit density. Assuming that α≥1, we prove that \alignedminLℙ∈ L, |L|=1|ℙ|2 e- πα|ℙ|2 \endaligned is achieved at hexagonal lattice. More generally we prove that for α≥ 1 \alignedminLℙ∈ L, |L|=1(|ℙ|2-\fracbα) e- πα|ℙ|2 \endaligned is achieved at hexagonal lattice for b≤(1)/(2π) and does not exist for b>(1)/(2π). As a consequence, we provide two classes of non-monotone potentials which lead to hexagonal crystallization among lattices. Our results partially answer some questions raised in \citeOreport, Bet2016, Bet2018, Bet2019AMP and extend the main results in \citeLW2022 on minima of difference of two theta functions.
