Fluids made of two-dimensional hard particles with polygonal shapes may stabilize symmetries which do not result directly from the particle shape. This is due to the formation of clusters in the fluid. Entropy alone can drive these effects,…

We study Density Functional Theory models for systems which are translationally invariant in some directions, such as a homogeneous 2-d slab in the 3-d space. We show how the different terms of the energy are modified and we derive reduced…
