Pattern Formation in Landau-de Gennes Theory
arXiv:2107.01440
Abstract
We study the spherical droplet problem in 3D-Landau de Gennes theory with finite temperature. By rigorously constructing the biaxial-ring solutions and split-core-segment solutions, we theoretically confirm the numerical results of Gartland-Mkaddem in [14]. The structures of disclinations are also addressed.
