Local Density for Two-Dimensional One-Component Plasma

We study the classical two-dimensional one-component plasma of N positively charged point particles, interacting via the Coulomb potential and confined by an external potential.

For any positive temperature, using a multiscale scheme of iterated mean-field bounds, we prove that the equilibrium measure provides the local particle density down to the optimal scale of No(1)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${N^{o(1)}}$$\end{document} particles. Using this result and the loop equation, we further prove that the particle configurations are rigid, in the sense that the fluctuations of smooth linear statistics on any scale are No(1)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${N^{o(1)}}$$\end{document}.
