A one-dimensional Hamiltonian is derived upon microscopic considerations to model the columnar phases of a liquid crystal made of molecules of discrete rotational symmetry. The study deals with the ground state of this Hamiltonian, only the orientational degrees of freedom being taken into account. The intracolumnar interaction is described by the natural cantedness of an isolated column, while interaction...
