We study a variational Ginzburg–Landau type model depending on a small parameter ε> 0
ε> 0 for (tangent) vector fields on a 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold S. As ε → 0 ε→ 0 …

We consider a thin film limit of a Landau–de Gennes Q-tensor model. In the limiting process,
we observe a continuous transition where the normal and tangential parts of the Q-tensor …

We consider a Landau–de Gennes model for a suspension of small colloidal inclusions in a
nematic host. We impose suitable anchoring conditions at the boundary of the inclusions …

We study the discrete-to-continuum variational limit of the antiferromagnetic XY model on the
two-dimensional triangular lattice in the vortex regime. Within this regime, the spin system …

We study the discrete-to-continuum variational limit of the antiferromagnetic XY model on the
two-dimensional triangular lattice. The system is fully frustrated and displays two families of …

We consider a Landau-de Gennes model for a polydisperse, inhomogeneous suspension of
colloidal inclusions in a nematic host, in the dilute regime. We study the homogenised limit …

A nematic liquid crystal, a phase of matter composed of rodlike molecules, exhibits a
tendency towards uniform molecular alignment. Bodies inserted into such a fluid can disturb …

We study a variational Ginzburg–Landau-type model depending on a small parameter ε> 0
for (tangent) vector fields on a 2-dimensional Riemannian surface. As ε→ 0, the vector fields …

We study the asymptotic behavior of the minimisers of the Landau-de Gennes model for
nematic liquid crystals in a two-dimensional domain in the regime of small elastic constant …

Recent advances in cell biology and experimental techniques using reconstituted cell
extracts have generated significant interest in understanding how geometry and topology …
