Abstract
It is shown by renormalisation group methods that the neutral Coulomb gas in d dimensions has a metal-insulator transition in two or less dimensions and is a conductor at any temperature in more than two dimensions. The consequences for a model of a d-dimensional interface in a (d+1)-dimensional bulk system are discussed.Keywords
