DESCRIPTION:Title: Defects and Phase Transitions in highly anisotropic liqu
 id crystals\n\nAbstract:\n\nWe introduce and study the asymptotics of a Co
 ntinuum model in two dimensions to describe interfacial singularities alon
 g the nematic/ isotropic phase boundaries. After setting the stage with so
 me results in the spirit of Gamma convergence\, we will describe several e
 xamples to illustrate varied phenomena that emerge in singular perturbatio
 n problems that have a large disparity in the penalization of different de
 rivative terms. This is joint work with Peter Sternberg\, Dmitry Golovaty 
 and Mike Novack.\n
