A class of causal variational principles on a compact manifold is introduced and analyzed both numerically and analytically. It is proved under general assumptions that the support of a minimizing measure is either completely timelike, or it is singular in the sense that its interior is empty. In the examples of the circle, the sphere and certain flag manifolds, the general results are supplemented by a more detailed and explicit analysis of the minimizers. On the sphere, we get a connection to packing problems and the Tammes distribution. Moreover, the minimal action is estimated from above and below.

Optimal measures for p-frame energies on spheres
Tight designs minimize p-frame energies over all probability measures for p between consecutive even integers, and the 600-cell does so on S3 for p in [8,10].

Energy on spheres and discreteness of minimizing measures
For non-even p, every minimizer of the p-frame energy on the sphere has support with empty interior, and for potentials with finitely many positive Gegenbauer coefficients a discrete minimizer always exists.
