Many problems of spherical discrete and metric geometry may be reformulated as energy minimization problems and require techniques that stem from harmonic analysis, potential theory, optimization etc. We shall discuss several such problems as well of applications of these ideas to combinatorial geometry, discrepancy theory, signal processing etc.
