Well-posedness and global attractors for liquid crystals on Riemannian manifolds
We study the coupled Navier-Stokes Ginzburg-Landau model of nematic liquid crystals introduced by F.H. Lin, which is a simplified version of the Ericksen-Leslie system. We generalize the model to compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, and show that the system comes from a variational principle....
