Abstract

We compute the absolute Poisson's ratio ν\nu and the bending rigidity exponent η\eta of a free-standing two-dimensional crystalline membrane embedded into a space of large dimensionality d=2+dcd = 2 + d_c, dc1d_c \gg 1. We demonstrate that, in the regime of anomalous Hooke's law, the absolute Poisson's ratio approaches material independent value determined solely by the spatial dimensionality dcd_c: ν=1+2/dca/dc2+\nu = -1 +2/d_c-a/d_c^2+\dots where a1.76±0.02a\approx 1.76\pm 0.02. Also, we find the following expression for the exponent of the bending rigidity: η=2/dc+(7368ζ(3))/(27dc2)+\eta = 2/d_c+(73-68\zeta(3))/(27 d_c^2)+\dots. These results cannot be captured by self-consistent screening approximation.
