We consider how membrane fluctuations can modify the miscibility of lipidmixtures, that is to say how the phase diagram of a boundary-constrainedmembrane is modified when the membrane is allowed to fluctuate freely in thecase of zero surface tension. In order for fluctuations to have an effect, thedifferent lipid types must have differing Gaussian rigidities. We show,somewhat paradoxically, that fluctuation-induced interactions can be treatedapproximately in a mean-field type theory. Our calculations predict that,depending on the difference in bending and Gaussian rigidity of the lipids,membrane fluctuations can either favor or disfavor mixing.
