Scaling behavior of crystalline membranes: An ε-expansion approach

We study the scaling behavior of two-dimensional (2D) crystalline membranes in the flat phase by a renormalization group (RG) method and an ε-expansion. Generalization of the problem to non-integer dimensions, necessary to control the ε-expansion, is achieved by dimensional continuation of a well-kn...
