Landau-De Gennes theory of nematic liquid crystals: the Oseen-Frank limit and beyond
We study global minimizers of a continuum Landau-De Gennes energy functional for nematic liquid crystals, in three-dimensional domains, subject to uniaxial boundary conditions. We analyze the physically relevant limit of small elastic constant and show that global minimizers converge strongly, i...
