Symmetry of uniaxial global Landau-de Gennes minimizers in the theory of nematic liquid crystals

We extend the recent radial symmetry results by Pisante [23] and Millot & Pisante [19] (who show that all entire solutions of the vector-valued Ginzburg-Landau equations in superconductivity theory, in the three-dimensional space, are comprised of the well-known class of equivariant solution...
