Compactness and structure of zero-states for unoriented Aviles-Giga functionals

Michael Goldman,
Benoit Merlet,
Marc Pegon
et al.

Abstract: Motivated by some models of pattern formation involving an unoriented director field in the plane, we study a family of unoriented counterparts to the Aviles-Giga functional.We introduce a nonlinear curl operator for such unoriented vector fields as well as a family of even entropies which we call "trigonometric entropies". Using these tools we show two main theorems which parallel some results in the literature on the classical Aviles-Giga energy. The first is a compactness result for sequences of configurati… Show more

“…We can also make a connection to the recent preprint [GMPS21], where a SBV model for ± 1 2 disclinations is proposed and the constraint that [k] = 2 along the jump set is imposed. The energy we use can be viewed as an attempt to also relax the one used in [GMPS21] by being a Sobolev model allowing for a more general class of jumps in the SBV limit.…”
