The University of Connecticut's Office Sponsored Programs received a $199,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) on August 1, 2026, with a completion date of July 31, 2029. This award supports rigorous mathematical research on continuum models for smectic liquid crystals—geometrically frustrated soft-matter systems with potential technological applications. The project applies tools from calculus of variations and nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) to provide theoretical understanding of physical structures observed in experimental and numerical studies of smectic liquid crystals formed by both rod-like and bent-core molecules. The research deliverables include theoretical analysis addressing compactness of energy-bounded sequences, gamma limits of nonlinear approximation models, sharp lower bounds, and explicit solutions to Euler-Lagrange equations characterizing equilibrium structures. A secondary research direction focuses on ferroelectric bent-core smectic liquid crystals in thin planar cells, with emphasis on rigorous analysis of equilibrium polar director structure and dielectric response. The award supports cross-disciplinary training for postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students, advancing fundamental understanding of soft-matter physics through mathematically rigorous analysis.Federal Grant Award Summary
