Point defects in 2-D liquid crystals with a singular potential: Profiles and stability

Z Geng, W Wang - Science China Mathematics, 2024 - Springer
We study radial symmetric point defects with degree k 2 in the 2-D disk or ℝ2 in the Q-tensor
framework with a singular bulk energy, which is defined by Bingham closure. First, we obtain …
