Abstract

We investigate the effects of quenched elastic disorder on the nature of the crumpling-to-flat transition of DD-dimensional polymerized membranes using a two-loop computation near the upper critical dimension Dc=4D_c=4. While the pure system undergoes fluctuation-induced first order transitions below DcD_c and for an embedding dimension d<dc,pure218.2d<d_{c,pure}\simeq 218.2, one observes, in presence of disorder, the emergence of various regions of second order governed by a disordered stable fixed point for d<dc1dc,pured<d_{c1}\sim d_{c,pure}. This opens the possibility of a new universality class associated with the crumpling-to-flat transition of disordered membranes in d=3d=3
