Orientable and non-orientable director fields for liquid crystals
Uniaxial nematic liquid crystals are often modelled using the Oseen-Frank theory, in which the mean orientation of the rodlike molecules is described through a unit vector field n. This theory has the apparent drawback that it does not respect the head-to-tail symmetry in which n should be equivalent to −n; that is, instead of n taking values in the unit sphere S, it should take values in the s...
متن کاملFunctors for Coalgebras
Functors preserving weak pullbacks provide the basis for a rich structure theory of coalgebras. We give an easy to use criterion to check whether a functor preserves weak pullbacks. We apply the characterization to the functor F which associates a set X with the set F(X) of all filters on X. It turns out that this functor preserves weak pullbacks, yet does not preserve weak generalized pullback...
متن کاملFunctors for Alternative Categories
An attempt to define the concept of a functor covering both cases (covariant and contravariant) resulted in a structure consisting of two fields: the object map and the morphism map, the first one mapping the Cartesian squares of the set of objects rather than the set of objects. We start with an auxiliary notion of bifunction, i.e. a function mapping the Cartesian square of a set A into the Ca...
متن کاملOrientable and non-orientable maps with given automorphism groups
We prove that for every finite group G there exist orient able as well as non-orientable maps with automorphism group isomorphic to G.
متن کاملEnumeration of orientable coverings of a non-orientable manifold
In this paper we solve the known V.A. Liskovets problem (1996) on the enumeration of orientable coverings over a non-orientable manifold with an arbitrary finitely generated fundamental group. As an application we obtain general formulas for the number of chiral and reflexible coverings over the manifold. As a further application, we count the chiral and reflexible maps and hypermaps on a close...
