Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this paper we consider non-local energies defined on probability measures in the plane, given by a convolution interaction term plus a quadratic confinement. The interaction kernel is − log |z| + αx/|z|, z = x + iy, with −1 < α < 1. This kernel is anisotropic except for the Coulomb case α = 0. We present a short compact proof of the known surprising fact that the unique minimizer of the energy is the normalized characteristic function of the domain enclosed by an ellipse with horizontal semi-axis √1 − α and vertical semi-axis √1 + α. Letting α → 1, we find that the semicircle law on the vertical axis is the unique minimizer of the corresponding energy, a result related to interacting dislocations, and previously obtained by some of the authors. We devote the first sections of this paper to presenting some well-known background material in the simplest way possible, so that readers unfamiliar with the subject find the proofs accessible.
