Abstract
In the preceding paper [J. M. Park and T. C. Lubersky, Phys. Rev. E 53 , 2648 (1996)] 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 renormaliz ation-group recursion relations for the sine-Gordon model using field- theoretic techniques developed to study hat space problems.
