  • Abstract
    The dynamics of a liquid metal layer in a strong electric field is investigated for arbitrary viscosity. The specific forms of microtip that appear when aperiodic instability develops are determined. The liquid surface correlation function for development of instability on thermal fluctuations is calculated
