We study liquid crystal point defects in 2D domains. We employ Landau-de
Gennes theory and provide a simplified description of global minimizers
of Landau- de Gennes energy under homeothropic boundary conditions. We
also provide explicit solutions describing defects of various strength
under Lyuksutov's constraint.
