    On the plant leaf's boundary, ``jupe à godets'' and conformal embeddings (English)
    0 references
    The authors study the stable profile of the boundary of a plant's leaf fluctuating in the direction transverse to the leaf's surface described in the framework of a model called a ``surface à godets'' (SG). They show that the information on the profile is encoded in the Jacobian of a conformal mapping corresponding to an isometric embedding of a uniform Cayley tree into the 3D Euclidean space. The growth of a random ``surface à godets'' is also studied.
