Dihedral-family conjecture for non-axisymmetric critical points of the Onsager potential
Dihedral-family conjecture for non-axisymmetric critical points of the Onsager potential
Consider the Onsager potential with interaction parameter . For a positive integer , let denote the relevant horizontal dihedral symmetry group, and call a critical point non-axisymmetric when it lacks axial symmetry. Dihedral-family conjecture. There exists a non-axisymmetric critical point with symmetry for some . Numerical computations exhibit several non-axisymmetric states with discrete symmetries, while the asserted existence for the stated dihedral family is not proved in the supplied material.
