## Abstract

We apply Monte Carlo Renormalization group to the crumpling transition in random surface models of fixed connectivity. This transition is notoriously difficult to treat numerically. We employ here a Fourier accelerated Langevin algorithm in conjunction with a novel blocking procedure in momentum space which has proven extremely successful in $\lambda\phi^4$. We perform two successive renormalizations in lattices with up to $64^2$ sites. We obtain a result for the critical exponent $\nu$ in general agreement with previous estimates and similar error bars, but with much less computational effort. We also measure with great accuracy $\eta$. As a by-product we are able to determine the fractal dimension $d_H$ of random surfaces at the crumpling transition.
