First-order phase transition of fixed connectivity surfaces.
We report numerical evidence of the discontinuous transition of a tethered membrane model which is defined within a framework of the membrane elasticity of Helfrich. Two kinds of phantom tethered membrane models are studied via the canonical Monte Carlo simulation on triangulated fixed connectivity surfaces of spherical topology. One surface model is defined by the Gaussian term and the bending...
متن کاملSimple model of first-order phase transition
One-dimensional model of a system where first-order phase transition occurs is examined in the present paper. It is shown that basic properties of the phenomenon, such as a well defined temperature of transition, are caused both by existence of a border between the phases and the fact that only in the vicinity of that border it is possible for molecules to change their phase. Not only the model...
متن کاملFirst-order nonthermal phase transition after preheating
During preheating after inflation, parametric resonance rapidly generates very large fluctuations of scalar fields. In models where the inflaton field φ oscillates in a double-well potential and interacts with another scalar field X, fluctuations of X can keep the φ→ −φ symmetry temporarily restored. If the coupling of φ to X is much stronger than the inflaton self-coupling, the subsequent symm...
متن کاملFirst-order phase transition of the tethered membrane model on spherical surfaces
We found that three types of tethered surface model undergo a first-order phase transition between the smooth and the crumpled phase. The first and the third are discrete models of Helfrich, Polyakov, and Kleinert, and the second is that of Nambu and Goto. These are curvature models for biological membranes including artificial vesicles. The results obtained in this paper indicate that the firs...
متن کاملSecond-Order Catalytic Quasispecies Yields First-Order Phase Transition
The quasispecies model describes processes related to the origin of life and viral evolutionary dynamics. We discuss how the error catastrophe that reflects the transition from localized to delocalized quasispecies population is affected by catalytic replication of different reaction orders. Specifically, we find that 2 order mechanisms lead to 1 order discontinuous phase transitions in the via...
