3. Although the intermolecular interactions considered in this paper are invariant under rotations in both position and spin spaces, we call them “anisotropic” for consistency with previous work and with the liquid crystal literature.

48. This higher-order critical point has been given different names, which are a matter of some controversy [see J. M. Kincaid and E. D. G. Cohen, Phys. Rep., Phys. Lett. 22C, 57 (1975)
49. D. Roux, C. Coulon, and M. E. Cates, J. Phys. Chem. 96, 4174 (1992)]. Since that discussion is not particularly relevant here, we avoided using any of them.JPCHAX
50. This is not a Landau expansion in the stricter sense, as it is only valid in zero field; its relation to the true Landau expansion will be discussed in the last section.
