The Abelian Higgs model is the basis for a gauge covariant form of the distortion free energy for nematic liquid crystals. This is used to derive a new form of the Ericksen Leslie equations incorporating the dynamics of disclinations in nematic films. The zero liquid flow case is treated in detail f

A model for cross relaxation in high symmetry systems is developed. The positions of all acceptor ions and all multipole-multipole interactions may be included. The geometric factors are explicitly considered. A feature of the model is that it enables decay rates and the form of decay curves to be p
