Two-Dimensional Ferronematics, Canonical Harmonic Maps and Minimal Connections
We study a variational model for ferronematics in two-dimensional domains, in the “super-dilute” regime. The free energy functional consists of a reduced Landau-de Gennes energy for the nematic order parameter, a Ginzburg–Landau type energy for the spontaneous magnetisation, and a coupling term that favours the co-alignment of the nematic director and the magnetisation. In a suitable asymptotic regime, we prove that the nematic order parameter converges to a canonical harmonic map with non-orientable point defects, while the magnetisation converges to a singular vector field, with line defects that connect the non-orientable point defects in pairs, along a minimal connection.
期刊介绍:
The Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis nourishes the discipline of mechanics as a deductive, mathematical science in the classical tradition and promotes analysis, particularly in the context of application. Its purpose is to give rapid and full publication to research of exceptional moment, depth and permanence.
