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 $D_{uc} = 4$, generalizing the one-loop computation of Morse,…
The crumpled-to-flat phase transition that occurs in D-dimensional polymerized phantom membranes embedded in a d-dimensional space is investigated nonperturbatively using a field expansion up to order eight in powers of the order parameter.…
We study quenched disordered polymerized membranes in their flat phase by means of a three-loop perturbative analysis performed in dimension $D = 4-\epsilon$. We derive the renormalization group equations at this order and solve them up to…
Polymerized phantom membranes are revisited using a nonperturbative renormalization group approach. This allows one to investigate both the crumpling transition and the low-temperature, flat, phase in any internal dimension D and embedding…
We investigate the flat phase of $D$-dimensional crystalline membranes embedded in a $d$-dimensional space and submitted to both metric and curvature quenched disorders using a nonperturbative renormalization group approach. We identify a…
We study $D$-dimensional polymerized membranes embedded in $d$ dimensions using a self-consistent screening approximation. It is exact for large $d$ to order $1/d$, for any $d$ to order $\epsilon=4-D$ and for $d=D$. For flat physical…
Anisotropic D-dimensional polymerized phantom membranes are investigated within a nonperturbative renormalization group (NPRG) framework. One focuses on the transition between a high-temperature, crumpled, phase and a low-temperature,…
We consider a D-dimensional fluid membrane in a D+1-dimensional embedding space, subject to quantum fluctuations. The corresponding action is invariant under coordinate transformations and depends only on the shape of the membrane and its…
We investigate two complementary field-theoretical models describing the flat phase of polymerized - phantom - membranes by means of a two-loop, weak-coupling, perturbative approach performed near the upper critical dimension $D_{uc}=4$,…
Models of folding of a triangular lattice embedded in a discrete space are studied as simple models of the crumpling transition of fixed-connectivity membranes. Both the case of planar folding and three-dimensional folding on a…
Ideal crystalline membranes, realized by graphene and other atomic monolayers, exhibit rich physics - a universal anomalous elasticity of the critical "flat" phase characterized by a negative Poisson ratio, universally singular elastic…
We investigate the effects of quenched randomness on the universal properties of a two-temperature lattice gas. The disorder modifies the dynamical transition rates of the system in an anisotropic fashion, giving rise to a new fixed point.…
We study a model of phantom tethered membranes, embedded in three-dimensional space, by extensive Monte Carlo simulations. The membranes have hexagonal lattice structure where each monomer is interacting with six nearest-neighbors (NN).…
The effect of quantum fluctuations on a nearly flat, nonrelativistic two-dimensional membrane with extrinsic curvature stiffness and tension is investigated. The renormalization group analysis is carried out in first-order perturbative…
The simultaneous effect of both disorder and crystal-lattice pinning on the equilibrium behavior of oriented elastic objects is studied using scaling arguments and a functional renormalization group technique. Our analysis applies to…
The phase diagram of an incompressible fluid membrane subject to quantum and thermal fluctuations is calculated exactly in a large number of dimensions of configuration space. At zero temperature, a crumpling transition is found at a…
We revisit the universal behavior of crystalline membranes at and below the crumpling transition, which pertains to the mechanical properties of important soft and hard matter materials, such as the cytoskeleton of red blood cells or…
We develop a theory of anomalous elasticity in disordered two-dimensional flexible materials with orthorhombic crystal symmetry. Similar to the clean case, we predict existence of infinitely many flat phases with anisotropic bending…
We investigate the effects of quenched randomness on topological quantum phase transitions in strongly interacting two-dimensional systems. We focus first on transitions driven by the condensation of a subset of fractionalized…
We study by Monte Carlo simulations the effect of quenched orientational disorder in systems of interacting classical dipoles on a square lattice. Each dipole can lie along any of two perpendicular axes that form an angle psi with the…
