Abstract

One investigates the flat phase of quenched disordered polymerized membranes by means of a two-loop, weak-coupling computation performed near their upper critical dimension Duc=4D_{uc} = 4, generalizing the one-loop computation of Morse, Lubensky and Grest [Phys. Rev. A 45, R2151 (1992), Phys. Rev. A 46, 1751 (1992)]. Our work confirms the existence of the finite-temperature, finite-disorder, wrinkling transition, which has been recently identified by Coquand et al. [Phys. Rev E 97, 030102 (2018)] using a nonperturbative renormalization group approach. One also points out ambiguities in the two-loop computation that prevent the exact identification of the properties of the novel fixed point associated with the wrinkling transition, which very likely requires a three-loop order approach.
