Log-rolling and kayaking: periodic dynamics of a nematic liquid
... Set up the dynamical equations as an ODE on the space V := {symmetric, traceless 3 × 3 matrices} ∼ = R5 . Think of Q ∈ V as the non-spherical part of the second moment of the probability that molecules will align in a given direction. Thus 0 ∈ V corresponds to the isotropic state: individual molecul ...
