Global defect topology in nematic liquid crystals
We give the global homotopy classification of nematic textures for a general domain with weak anchoring boundary conditions and arbitrary defect set in terms of twisted cohomology, and give an explicit computation for the case of knotted and linked defects in [Formula: see text] , showing that the d...
