DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/SIAM-PDE/1/"
 >Some energy minimization problems for liquid crystals</a>\nby Sir John Ba
 ll (Heriot-Watt University\, Edinburgh) as part of Seminar In the Analysis
  and Methods of PDE (SIAM PDE)\n\n\nAbstract\nThe talk will discuss some e
 nergy minimization problems for liquid crystals described at different lev
 els of detail by the probability density function of molecular orientation
 s\, by a tensor average of this function (the de Gennes Q tensor theory)\,
  and by the expected orientation of molecules (the Oseen-Frank theory).\n
