Abstract: (Elsevier)

We compute the entropy of latticized, self-avoiding planar surfaces in three dimensions, by computer simulation of surface fluctuations. Our data are consistent with the formula N S ∼ S γ e ϵ S , where N S is the number of surfaces of area S , and γ = −0.5 ± 0.05, ϵ = 0.531 ± 0.003. We also determine the phase structure of a field theory based on interacting surfaces, which reduces to Z 2 lattice gauge theory in the “non-interacting” limit.
