Abstract
The main aim of this paper is to discuss the entropic repulsion of random interfaces between two hard walls. We consider the d (≥ 3)-dimensional Gaussian lattice field on ℝλ N , λ N = [-N, N] d ∩ ℤd and identify the repulsion of the field as N → ∞ under the condition that the field lies between two hard walls at the height level 0 and L in Λ N where L is large enough but finite. We also study the same problem for two layered interfaces case.
