Anomalous elasticity of nematic elastomers
Olaf Stenull, T. C. Lubensky
We study the anomalous elasticity of nematic elastomers by employing the powers of renormalized field theory. Using general arguments of symmetry and relevance, we introduce a mini…

Theory of Banana Liquid Crystal Phases and Phase Transitions
Tom Lubensky, Leo Radzihovsky
We study phases and phase transitions that can take place in the newly discovered banana (bow-shaped or bent-core) liquid crystal molecules. We show that to completely characterize…

Phase Transitions in Lyotropic Nematic Gels
D. Lacoste, A. W. C. Lau, T. C. Lubensky
In this paper, we discuss the equilibrium phases and collapse transitions of a lyotropic nematic gel immersed in an isotropic solvent. A nematic gel consists of a cross-linked poly…
