Abstract

We compute the differential Poisson's ratio of a suspended two-dimensional crystalline membrane embedded into a space of large dimensionality d1d \gg 1. We demonstrate that, in the regime of anomalous Hooke's law, the differential Poisson's ratio approaches a universal value determined solely by the spatial dimensionality dcd_c, with a power-law expansion ν=1/3+0.016/dc+O(1/dc2)\nu = -1/3 + 0.016/d_c + O(1/d_c^2), where dc=d2d_c=d-2. Thus, the value 1/3-1/3 predicted in previous literature holds only in the limit dcd_c\to \infty.
