title: Surface partition of large clusters.
abstract: The surface partition of large clusters is derived analytically for a simple statistical model by using the Laplace-Fourier transformation method. In the limit of small amplitude deformations, a suggested "hills and dales model" reproduces the leading term of the Fisher result for the surface entropy to within a few percent. The model also gives the degeneracy prefactor of large clusters. The surface partition of finite clusters is also discussed.
