 abstract = {Using active gel theory we study theoretically the properties of the
cortical actin layer of animal cells. The cortical layer is described as
a non-equilibrium wetting film on the cell membrane. The actin density
is approximately constant in the layer and jumps to zero at its edge.
The layer thickness is determined by the ratio of the polymerization
velocity and the depolymerization rate of actin.},
