Fluctuation-induced interactions between rods on a membrane.

We consider the interaction between two rods embedded in a fluctuating surface. The modification of fluctuations by the rods leads to an attractive long-range interaction between them. We consider fluctuations governed by either surface tension (films) or bending rigidity (membranes). In both cases...
