Long-range order in a lattice-gas model of nematic liquid crystals

A lattice model with full rotational symmetry is discussed for describing nematic liquid crystals. It is a lattice-gas approximation of continuum liquid with dispersion forces between long centrosymmetric molecules. Orientational long-range order at low temperatures and large chemical potentials is proven using the combination of an infrared bound and chessboard estimates.
