'The book is highly recommended as a reference for advanced
graduate students and scholars involved in geometric analysis of
membranes and other elastic surfaces. Valuable techniques may be
learned from the bookaEURO (TM)s model constructions and sequential
derivations and presentations of governing equations. Detailed
analysis and solutions enable the reader with an increased
understanding of the physical characteristics of membranes in
liquid crystal phases such as their preferred shapes.'Contemporary
PhysicsThis is the second edition of the book Geometric Methods in
Elastic Theory of Membranes in Liquid Crystal Phases published by
World Scientific in 1999. This book gives a comprehensive treatment
of the conditions of mechanical equilibrium and the deformation of
membranes as a surface problem in differential geometry. It is
aimed at readers engaging in the field of investigation of the
shape formation of membranes in liquid crystalline state with
differential geometry. The material chosen in this book is mainly
limited to analytical results. The main changes in this second
edition are: we add a chapter (Chapter 4) to explain how to
calculate variational problems on a surface with a free edge by
using a new mathematical tool - moving frame method and exterior
differential forms - and how to derive the shape equation and
boundary conditions for open lipid membranes through this new
method. In addition, we include the recent concise work on chiral
lipid membranes as a section in Chapter 5, and in Chapter 6 we
mention some topics that we have not fully investigated but are
also important to geometric theory of membrane elasticity.
