    Nonexistence of smooth solutions for the general compressible Ericksen -- Leslie equations in three dimensions

    Full text link
    We prove that the smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem for the compressible general three-dimensional Ericksen--Leslie system modeling nematic liquid crystal flow with conserved mass, linear momentum, and dissipating total energy, generally lose classical smoothness within a finite time.Comment: 7 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1206.2850, arXiv:1105.2180 by other author

    Banach Lie-Poisson spaces and reduction

    Get PDF
    The category of Banach Lie-Poisson spaces is introduced and studied. It is shown that the category of W*-algebras can be considered as one of its subcategories. Examples and applications of Banach Lie-Poisson spaces to quantization and integration of Hamiltonian systems are given. The relationship between classical and quantum reduction is discussed.Comment: 58 pages, to apear in Comm.Math.Phy
