Author(s): Karl Saunders Critical behavior near the smectic A−C tricritical point is studied using renormalization group techniques. Critical fluctuations induce a singular softening of the smectic bulk modulus in the A phase. At the tricritical point, the quasi-long-range positional order of the smectic layers is destroyed...
