33. For the case of two membranes, the effective rigidity KO is a function of the bending rigidities of the two individual membranes, K1 and K2, and is given by KQ = KiKz/fai + Kz).
34. The separation coordinates between neighboring membranes in a stack are indeed decoupled to a good approximation if the membranes are bound by a rather long-ranged potential, such as an external pressure
35. For short-ranged potentials the situation is more complex, but the decoupling Ansatz describes the situation still rather well [30].

39. Note that holes correspond to membrane perturbations where the local bending rigidity is reduced [33]. The aggregation of such holes into a hexagonal array or the condensation into a macroscopic single hole has recently been demonstrated for a swollen diblock copolymer system [34]. The parameter controlling which behavior dominates is the spontaneous curvature of a monolayer, which is for diblock copolymer determined by the block asymmetry.
