چکیده
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.

Crossover Between Weakly and Strongly Self-avoiding Random Surfaces
We investigate the crossover between weak and strong self-avoidance in a simulation of random surfaces with extrinsic curvature. We consider both dynamically triangulated and rigid surfaces with the two possible discretizations of the extrinsic curvature term. Submitted to Phys Lett B. In recent papers we have investigated the limits of weak [1] and strong [2] self-avoidance in both fixed and d...
متن کاملThe Phase Diagram of Fluid Random Surfaces with Extrinsic Curvature
We present the results of a large-scale simulation of a Dynamically Triangulated Random Surface with extrinsic curvature embedded in three-dimensional flat space. We measure a variety of local observables and use a finite size scaling analysis to characterize as much as possible the regime of crossover from crumpled to smooth surfaces.

متن کاملThe Phase Structure of Strings with Extrinsic Curvature
We examine a model of non-self-avoiding, fluctuating surfaces as a candidate continuum string theory of surfaces in three dimensions. This model describes Dynamically Triangulated Random Surfaces embedded in three dimensions with an extrinsic curvature dependent action. We analyze, using Monte Carlo simulations, the dramatic crossover behaviour of several observables which characterize the geom...
متن کاملSmooth random surfaces from tight immersions?
We investigate actions for dynamically triangulated random surfaces that consist of a gaussian or area term plus the modulus of the gaussian curvature and compare their behavior with both gaussian plus extrinsic curvature and “Steiner” actions. Considerable effort has recently been devoted to exploring modifications of the discretized Polyakov partition function [1] for a random surface
متن کاملThe Theory of Dynamical Random Surfaces with Extrinsic Curvature
We analyze numerically the critical properties of a two-dimensional discretized random surface with extrinsic curvature embedded in a three-dimensional space. The use of the toroidal topology enables us to enforce the non-zero external extension without the necessity of defining a boundary and allows us to measure directly the string tension. We show that a phase transition from the crumpled ph...
