Liquid crystals are a type of matter which share properties with both liquids and crystalline solids, i.e. the molecules of such materials can move but exhibit a positional and orientational order.One of the most remarkable characteristics is the formation of defect structures, in particular point and line singularities.In this work we use a version of the Landau-de Gennes model for nematic liquid crystals with an external magnetic field to describe the Saturn ring effect around an immersed particle.In an asymptotic regime where both point and line singularities occur, we derive an effective energy describing the formation and transition between different singularities.The first chapter deals with the physically relevant case of a spherical...
