Rotational Invariance and the Theory of Directed Polymer Nematics

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

The consequences of rotational invariance in a recent theory of fluctuations in dilute polymer nematics are explored. A correct rotationally invariant free energy insures that anomalous couplings are not generated in a one-loop renormalization group calculation.
