The States of Tethered Membranes
In recent years there has been considerable interest in the
large-scale properties of random surfaces in the context of
both field theory and condensed-matter theory. Condensed-matter
systems in which surfaces and interfaces play a significant role
include microemulsions, lipid bilayers, vesicles, and suspensions of
monolayers of exfoliated layered crystals.
