LINE LIQUID-CRYSTALS

Peculiarities of liquid systems constructed from line objects (like po lymers, or worm-like micelles) are investigated. Namely the static str ucture function for nematic polymers are calculated. The role of free ends of chains is discussed. Nonlinear hydrodynamic equations are deri ved by means of the Poisson brackets method. The linear spectrum of ei gen-modes is found. Thermal fluctuations lead to logarithmical contrib utions to viscosity coefficients. Very special case is line liquids co nstructed from long worm-like micelles.
