Analysis of a variational model for nematic shells
Antonio Segatti, Michael Snarski, Marco Veneroni
We analyze an elastic surface energy which was recently introduced by G. Napoli and L.Vergori to model thin films of nematic liquid crystals. We show how a novel approach that take…

Equilibrium configurations of nematic liquid crystals on a torus
Antonio Segatti, Michael Snarski, Marco Veneroni
The topology and the geometry of a surface play a fundamental role in determining the equilibrium configurations of thin films of liquid crystals. We propose here a theoretical ana…
