Biaxial defect cores in nematic equilibria an asymptotic result
We analyze nematic defects on arbitrary three-dimensional (3D) geometries subject to strong anchoring boundary conditions, for low temperatures. We obtain a complete characterization of defect profiles in physically realistic uniaxial solutions, in the low-temperature limit. We show that (i) the rad...
