Through a geometric capacitary analysis based on space dualities, this paper addresses several fundamental aspects of functional analysis and potential theory for the Morrey spaces in harmonic analysis over the Euclidean spaces.

The action of a Lie pseudogroup $\mathcal{G}$ on a smooth manifold$M$induces a prolonged pseudogroup action on the jet spaces$J$^{$n$}of submanifolds of$M$. We prove in this paper that both the local and global freeness of the action of $\mathcal{G}$ on$J$^{$n$}persist under prolongation in the jet order$n$. Our results underlie the construction of complete moving frames and, indirectly, their applications in the identification and analysis of the various invariant objects for the prolonged pseudogroup actions.

We study the asymptotic equidistribution of points with discrete energy close to Robin’s constant of a compact set in the plane. Our main tools are the energy estimates from potential theory. We also consider the quantitative aspects of this equidistribution. Applications include estimates of growth for the Fekete and Leja polynomials associated with large classes of compact sets, convergence rates of the discrete energy approximations to Robin’s constant, and problems on the means of zeros of polynomials with integer coefficients.
