Abstract
We consider two dimensional lattice free fields (harmonic crystals) and study the asymptotic behavior of the fields under the constraint that each field lies above a hard-wall and is forced to be piled on top of another. This problem is the so-called entropic repulsion and our result extends that of ref. 2 which studied the higher dimensional case.
