We prove a two-term asymptotics for the ground state energy per unit volume in the dilute limit. Our proof justifies the expectation that optimal configurations consist of droplets of unit size that arrange themselves according to minimizers for the Jellium problem for point particles. In particular, we provide the first rigorous derivation of what is known as the gnocchi phase in astrophysics."}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2507.14012"]},"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","article_processing_charge":"No","oa":1,"author":[{"full_name":"Frank, Rupert L.","last_name":"Frank","first_name":"Rupert L."},{"last_name":"Lewin","full_name":"Lewin, Mathieu","first_name":"Mathieu"},{"first_name":"Robert","orcid":"0000-0002-6781-0521","last_name":"Seiringer","id":"4AFD0470-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Seiringer, Robert"}],"status":"public","day":"01","OA_type":"green","year":"2026","doi":"10.1002/cpa.70039","date_created":"2026-05-31T22:02:13Z","publication":"Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2507.14012","open_access":"1"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}]}
