A vector equilibrium problem for symmetrically located point charges on a sphere

We study the equilibrium measure on the two dimensional sphere in the presence of an external field generated by r+1 equal point charges that are symmetrically located around the north pole. The support of the equilibrium measure is known as the droplet. The droplet has a motherbody which we charact...
