Liquid crystal director fields in three-dimensional non-Euclidean geometries
This paper investigates nematic liquid crystals in three-dimensional curved space, and determines which director deformation modes are compatible with each possible type of non-Euclidean geometry. Previous work by Sethna et al showed that double twist is frustrated in flat space ${\mathbb{R}}^{3}$ ,...
