Annotation
A model of a nematic liquid crystal which takes into account orientational fluctuations and short-range correlations of molecules has been studied based on Bogolyubov's variational principle in a pseudoharmonic approximation. The temperature dependences of the mean-square orientational displacement of molecules and the order parameter have been obtained.
