Global weak solutions for the compressive active liquid crystal system

We study the hydrodynamics of compressible flows of active liquid crystals in the Beris--Edwards hydrodynamics framework, using the Landau--de Gennes $Q$-tensor order parameter to describe liquid crystalline ordering. We prove the existence of global weak solutions for this active system in three sp...
