Abstract
We compare predictions of the Capillary Wave Model beyond its gaussian approximation with Monte Carlo results for the energy gap and the sur face energy of the 3D Ising model in the scaling region. Our study rev eals that the finite-size effects of these quantities are well describ ed by the Capillary Wave Model, expanded to two-loop order (one order beyond the gaussian approximation).
