Instability of point defects in a two-dimensional nematic liquid crystal model
[OWP-2015-05] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-07-29)We study a class of symmetric critical points in a variational 2$D$ Landau - de Gennes model where the state of nematic liquid crystals is described by symmetric traceless $3 \times 3$ matrices. These critical points play ...
