Abstract
⺠Axial and biaxial nematic-like order in mutipolar hard spherical colloids is described. ⺠The study is done on colloids low structured and the multipole moments are axially symmetric. ⺠We provide general ideas for describing nematic-like order in different symmetries. ⺠We model the anisotropic magnetic susceptibility in exotic nematics. ⺠We use the Landau-de Gennes theory to decide properly the order parameters in nematics of different symmetries.
