Vortices in the Lattice Model of Planar Nematic
Abstract
The vortices in the planar nematic are investigated using a field-theoretical description in terms of RP2 σ-model. In the limit of strong-coupling expansion the vortices interaction considered in the framework of mean-field theory describes a new type of phase transition.
