Basing on Landau–de Gennes theory, this study investigated the chiral configurations of nematic liquid crystals confined to cylindrical capillaries with homeotropic anchoring on the cylinder walls. When the elastic anisotropy (L2/L1) is large enough, a new structure results from the convergence of two opposite escape directions of the heterochiral twist and escape radial (TER) configurations. The new defect presents when L2/L1≥7 and disappears when L2/L1<7. The new structure possesses a heterochiral hyperbolic defect at the center and two homochiral radial defects on both sides. The two radial defects show different chiralities.

Nets of Schrödinger C0-semigroups (Sε)ε with the polynomial growth with respect to ε are used for solving the Cauchy problem (∂t − Δ)U + VU = f(t, U), U(0, x) = U0(x) in a suitable generalized function algebra (or space), where V and U0 are singular generalized functions while f satisfies a Lipschitz-type condition. The existence of distribution solutions is proved in appropriate cases by the means of white noise calculus as well as classical energy estimates.
