Self-avoiding random manifolds

David F. (CEA, DSM, SPhT (Service de Physique Théorique), F-91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, FRANCE)

Abstract:
These lectures deal with: (1) a brief review of the theory of flexible random manifolds (with fixed intrinsic metric), connected to the physics of polymerized membranes, and of the effect of extrinsic curvature (crumpling transitions); (2) a discussion of the effect of self-avoidance and its renormalization group treatment in term of a non-local field theory
