Abstract

Bilayer membranes and monolayer films are the simplest examples of various structures which are formed by amphiphilic molecules dissolved in water, or spread on an interface between water and another medium, such as oil or air. In order to describe these structures from a statistical point view, e.g. to obtain their phase diagram, or the dynamics of their fluctuations, it is necessary to introduce important simplifying assumptions.
