On the isotropic-biaxial phase transition in nematic liquid crystals
Giuseppe Gaeta
We apply a recently developed technique to determine adapted coordinates for the sixth degree Landau-deGennes potential, in which the potential is specially simple, to analyze the…

Poincaré-like approach to Landau theory. II. Simplifying the Landau-deGennes potential for nematic liquid crystals
G. Gaeta
In a previous paper we have discussed how the Landau potential (entering in Landau theory of phase transitions) can be simplified using the Poincaré normalization procedure. Here w…

Poincaré-like approach to Landau Theory. I. General theory
G. Gaeta
We discuss a procedure to simplify the Landau potential, based on Michel's reduction to orbit space and Poincaré normalization procedure; and illustrate it by concrete examples. Th…
