| contents | We study the Landau-de Gennes theory in the one constant limit. The bulk domain is the exterior of a spherical colloid. A Rapini-Papoular surface potential is imposed on the colloid surface, supplemented by a homogeneous far-field condition at spatial infinity. Under the axially symmetric ansatz and the Lyuksyutov constraint, we show that energy minimizers exhibit boojum disclinations at the two poles of the colloid. The local structure of these boojum disclinations is also characterized. |
