Building upon the real-valued tensorial smectic A (smA) model in [Xia et al., PRL, 126, 177801 (2021)], we propose a new continuous mathematical model for smC (and smA) by introducing a novel coupling term between the real tensor containing orientational information and density variation, to control the tilt an…
