Liquid crystal defects in two-dimensional Landau-de Gennes theory
- Valeriy Slastikov (University of Bristol)
Abstract
We consider a variational two-dimensional Landau-de Gennes model in the theory of nematic liquid crystals on a disk. We investigate symmetry of minimizers under a symmetric boundary condition carrying a topological defect of degree k/2.
One day before the seminar, an announcement with the link will be sent to the mailing list of the AG seminar. If you are not on the mailing list, but still want to join the broadcast, please contact Pavlos Tsatsoulis.
