- Abstract:
-
We study equilibrium liquid crystal configurations in three-dimensional domains, within the continuum Landau-De Gennes theory. We obtain explicit bounds for the equilibrium scalar order parameters in terms of the temperature and material-dependent constants. We explicitly quantify the temperature regimes where the Landau-De Gennes predictions match and the temperature regimes where the Landau-De Gennes predictions don’t match the probabilistic second-moment definition of the Q-tensor orde...
