Some remarks on mathematical theories of liquid crystals
- đ¤ Speaker: John Ball (Heriot-Watt University)
- đ Date & Time: Thursday 16 May 2019, 11:50 - 12:30
- đ Venue: Seminar Room 1, Newton Institute
Abstract
The talk will concern two different topics. First a quick new proof will be given of a result of Fatkullin & Slastikov (2005), Liu, Zhang & Zhang (2005) (see also Zhou et al (2005)), to the effect that stationary solutions to the Onsager equation with the Maier-Saupe interaction are radially symmetric. Second, a description will be given of joint work with Lu Liu on exterior problems in the 2D one-constant Oseen-Frank theory.
Series This talk is part of the Isaac Newton Institute Seminar Series series.
