DESCRIPTION:Defects and Phase Transitions in highly anisotropic liquid crys
 tals.\n\nWe introduce and study the asymptotics of a Continuum model in tw
 o dimensions to describe interfacial singularities along the nematic/ isot
 ropic phase boundaries. After setting the stage with some results in the s
 pirit of Gamma convergence\, we will describe several examples to illustra
 te varied phenomena that emerge in singular perturbation problems that hav
 e a large disparity in the penalization of different derivative terms. Thi
 s is joint work with Peter Sternberg\, Dmitry Golovaty and Mike Novack.\n
