ABSTRACT

In the preceding paper [J. M. Park and T. C. Lubensky, Phys. Rev. E 53, xxx (1995)] we derived Coulomb-gas and sine-Gordon Hamiltonians to describe the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition on a fluctuating surface. These Hamiltonians contain couplings to a Gaussian curvature that are not found in a rigid flat surface. In this paper, we derive renormalization-group recursion relations for the sine-Gordon model using field-theoretic techniques developed to study flat-space problems. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
