Spherical distributions of $N$ points with maximal distance sums are well spaced
It is shown that if $N$ points are placed on the unit sphere in Euclidean $3$-space so that the sum of the distances which they determine is maximal, then the distance between any two points is at least $2/3N$. Results for sums of $\lambda$th powers of distances are also given.
