Symmetry and multiplicity of solutions in a two-dimensional Landau-de Gennes model for liquid crystals
We consider a variational two-dimensional Landau–de Gennes model in the theory of nematic liquid crystals in a disk of radius R. We prove that under a symmetric boundary condition carrying a topological defect of degree 𝑘2 for some given even non-zero integer k, there are exactly two minimizers for...
