Abstract:
We develop a statistical approach for solving the classification problem for equilibriums of degenerate condensed media. We introduce generators of unbroken and spatial symmetries of an equilibrium and use them to derive the classification equations for the order parameter. We elucidate the mechanism of
the appearance of additional thermodynamic parameters characterizing both homogeneous and inhomogeneous equilibriums. We solve the classification problem for equilibriums of various liquid crystals analytically.
Keywords:
equilibrium, quasi-average, order parameter, classification equation, liquid crystal, thermodynamic parameter.
