Abstract
Within the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson approach we derive the effective Hamiltonian governing fluctuations of an interface between two phases, one of them adsorbed on a disclike substrate. For large disc radii and for temperatures close to the wetting temperature of the corresponding planar substrate the expressions for the hight-hight correlation function and the accompanying correlation angle are derived. Their dependence on the disc radius and the reduced temperature is discussed and the relevant scaling regimes are identified.
