We consider a nonlocal perturbation of an isoperimetric variational problem. The problem may be viewed as a mathematical paradigm for the ubiquitous phenomenon of energy-driven pattern formation associated with competing short and long-range interactions. In particular, it arises as a Γ-limit of a model for microphase separation of diblock copolymers. In this article, we establish precise conditions for criticality and stability (i.e. we explicitly compute the first and second variations). We also present some applications.
