Abstract
We consider a family of non-local shape optimization problems, which are motivated by a simple model for swarming and other self-assembly/aggregation models, and prove the existence of different phases for several of them. A technical key ingredient, which we establish, is that a strictly subharmonic function cannot be constant on a set of positive measure.
