Abstract

We apply Monte Carlo Renormalization group to the crumpling transition in random surface models of fixed connectivity. This transition is notoriously difficult to treat numerically. We employ here a Fourier accelerated Langevin algorithm in conjunction with a novel blocking procedure in momentum space which has proven extremely successful in λϕ4\lambda\phi^4. We perform two successive renormalizations in lattices with up to 64264^2 sites. We obtain a result for the critical exponent ν\nu in general agreement with previous estimates and similar error bars, but with much less computational effort. We also measure with great accuracy η\eta. As a by-product we are able to determine the fractal dimension dHd_H of random surfaces at the crumpling transition.
