Abstract
We deduce the uniqueness ofx/¦x¦ as a stable configuration in liquid crystals for some range of the elastic constants, following an observation on the curvature of the integral curves along the optic axis and a careful study of F.-H. Lin’s proof ofx/¦x¦ as a stable harmonic map. Our study includes the harmonic case when all the elastic constants are equal.
