On the covariant elasticity of smectic-A phases

The smectic-A covariant elasticity of Kleman and Parodi is presented in a simplified way. We obtain an equilibrium equation slightly amended that yields a direct physical interpretation and a simple conservation law. The comparison with de Gennes' early theory is discussed and some applications of the conservation law are presented.
