Complete integrability and equilibrium thermodynamics of biaxial nematic systems with discrete orientational degrees of freedom
Giovanni De Matteis, Francesco Giglio, Antonio Moro
We study a discrete version of a biaxial nematic liquid crystal model with external fields via an approach based on the solution of differential identities for the partition functi…

Symmetries and criticality of generalised van der Waals models
Francesco Giglio, Giulio Landolfi, Luigi Martina +1
We consider a family of thermodynamic models such that the energy density can be expressed as an asymptotic expansion in the scale formal parameter and whose terms are suitable fun…

Exact equations of state for nematics
Francesco Giglio, Giovanni De Matteis, Antonio Moro
We propose a novel approach to the solution of nematic Liquid Crystal models based on the derivation of a system of nonlinear wave equations for order parameters such that the occu…
