TITLE OF TALK: Partition function asymptotics for two-dimensional
               lattice vesicles

ABSTRACT OF TALK: Closed fluctuating membranes, or vesicles, can be
                  modeled in two dimensions by self-avoiding polygons
                  on the square lattice.

                  We derive the dominant asymptotic form and the order
                  of the correction terms of the finite-perimeter
                  partition function of self-avoiding polygons
                  on the square lattice, which are weighted according
                  to their area $A$ as $q^A$.
