A free discontinuity model for smectic thin films
John M. Ball, Giacomo Canevari, Bianca Stroffolini
We attempt to describe surface defects in smectic A thin films by formulating a free discontinuity problem - that is, a variational problem in which the order parameter is allowed…
Two-dimensional Ferronematics, Canonical Harmonic Maps and Minimal Connections
Giacomo Canevari, Apala Majumdar, Bianca Stroffolini +1
We study a variational model for ferronematics in two-dimensional domains, in the "super-dilute" regime. The free energy functional consists of a reduced Landau-de Gennes energy fo…
The Yang-Mills-Higgs functional on complex line bundles: -convergence and the London equation
Giacomo Canevari, Federico Luigi Dipasquale, Giandomenico Orlandi
We consider the Abelian Yang-Mills-Higgs functional, in the non-self dual scaling, on a complex line bundle over a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension . This functiona…
