22. RENN, S. R., and LUBENSKY, T. C., 1988. A clear overview of this effect in the context of the now mature field of critical phenomena is:PFEUTY, P., and TOULOUSE, G., 1977, Introduction to the Renormalization Group and to Critical Phenomena (New York:John Wiley and Sons). Later, Dasgupta and Halperin (DASGUPTA, C., and HALPERIN, B. I., 1981, Phys. Rev. Lett., 47, 1556) took into account order parameter fluctuations and found that in a certain limit that applies to the cholesteric-smectic A transition, the second order nature of this transition was restored. Indeed, our observations on travelling cholesteric-TGBA interfaces qualitatively support this prediction (CLADIS, P. E., SLANEY, A. J., GOODBY, J. W., and BRAND, H. R., 1994, Il Nuovo Cimenta, 16D, 765) based on properties offrant propagation. De Gennes first proposed [4] that the analogue of the Abrikosov vortex lattice in superconductors would be a state now known as the twist grain boundary state, TGB. TGBA occurs between the cholesteric and the smectic A phase. Phys. Rev. A, 38:2132
