We obtain a sharp quantitative isoperimetric inequality for nonlocal s-perimeters, uniform with respect to s bounded away from 0. This allows us to address local and global minimality properties of balls with respect to the volume-constrained minimization of a free energy consisting of a nonlocal s-perimeter plus a non-local repulsive interaction term. In the particular case s = 1, the s-perimeter coincides with the classical perimeter, and our results improve the ones of Knuepfer and Muratov…
