Title: On phases Transition between isotropic and Nematic States

Time: Wed, Apr.18, 2019, AM:10:30-11:30

Location: Room 4131, Building No.4, Wushan Campus

Abstract:

         In this talk, I will discu ss the interfacial problem of liquid crystals between the isotropic state and nematic state. As the Frank elasticity constants are sufficiently small, a sharp interface can form. We will present some results concerning the asymptotical limit in the frame of Gamma convergence. This is a joint work with Professor Fanghua Lin.
