GENERALIZED SUZUKI FORMULA AND ITS APPLICATION IN LIQUID CRYSTALS
广义Suzuki公式及其在液晶中的应用

The rigorous formula of Suzuki for correlation function of classical systems and Ising model is generalized and applied to the rotationally invariant Maier-Saupe Hamil-tonian of liquid crystals.The results show that the microscopic treatment of the correlation function and magnetic Cotton-Mouton coefficient by one of the authors is indeed correct within the approximation stated. The random phase approximation results of Vertogen and van der Meer is improved. A scheme to describe the thermodynamics of liquid crystals beyond the mean field approximation is proposed.
