Extrinsic Curvature Embedding Diagrams
Embedding diagrams have been used extensively to visualize the properties of curved space in Relativity. We introduce a new kind of embedding diagram based on the extrinsic curvature (instead of the intrinsic curvature). Such an extrinsic curvature embedding diagram, when used together with the usual kind of intrinsic curvature embedding diagram, carries the information of how a surface is embe...
متن کاملComplete surfaces with negative extrinsic curvature
N. V. Efimov [Efi64] proved that there is no complete, smooth surface in R with uniformly negative curvature. We extend this to isometric immersions in a 3-manifold with pinched curvature: if M has sectional curvature between two constants K2 and K3, then there exists K1 < min(K2, 0) such that M contains no smooth, complete immersed surface with curvature below K1. Optimal values of K1 are dete...
متن کاملHypercubic Random Surfaces with Extrinsic Curvature
We analyze a model of hypercubic random surfaces with an extrinsic curvature term in the action. We find a first order phase transition at finite coupling separating a branched polymer from a stable flat phase.
متن کامل(Bosonic)Mass Meets (Extrinsic)Curvature
In this paper we discuss the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking from the point view of vacuum pairs, considered as ground states of a Yang-MillsHiggs gauge theory. We treat a vacuum as a section in an appropriate bundle that is naturally associated with a minimum of a (general) Higgs potential. Such a vacuum spontaneously breaks the underlying gauge symmetry if the invariance group of t...
متن کاملStrings with Extrinsic Curvature: An Analysis of the Crossover Regime
In this work, we investigate a theory of fluid, fluctuating random surfaces embedded in three dimensions. Theories of fluctuating surfaces (string theories) have been conjectured to describe a wide variety of physical phenomena and models, including the strong interaction at large distances, the 3d Ising model, and unified theories incorporating gravity. Lipid bilayers and microemulsions are al...
