O ct 1 99 4 Phase Diagrams for Deformable Toroidal and Spherical Surfaces with Intrinsic Orientational Order
A theoretical study of toroidal membranes with various degrees of intrinsic orientational order is presented at mean-field level. The study uses a simple Ginzburg-Landau style free energy functional, which gives rise to a rich variety of physics and reveals some unusual ordered states. The system is found to exhibit many different phases with continuous and first order phase transitions , and p...

متن کاملPhase transitions of an intrinsic curvature model on dynamically triangulated spherical surfaces with point boundaries
An intrinsic curvature model is investigated using the canonical Monte Carlo simulations on dynamically triangulated spherical surfaces with two fixed vertices separated by distance 2L. We found a first-order transition at finite curvature coefficient α, and moreover that the order of transition remains unchanged even when L is enlarged such that the surfaces become sufficiently oblong. This is...
متن کاملPhase transitions of a tethered membrane model with intrinsic curvature on spherical surfaces with point boundaries
We found that the order for the crumpling transition of an intrinsic curvature model changes depending on the distance between two boundary vertices fixed on the surface of spherical topology. The model is a curvature one governed by an intrinsic curvature energy, which is defined on triangulated surfaces. It was already reported that the model undergoes a first-order crumpling transition witho...
متن کاملA study of the phase transition in 4 D pure compact U ( 1 ) LGT on toroidal and spherical lattices
A study of the phase transition in 4D pure compact U(1) LGT on toroidal and spherical lattices. Abstract We have performed a systematic study of the phase transition in the pure compact U(1) lattice gauge theory in the extended coupling parameter space (β, γ) on toroidal and spherical lattices. The observation of a non-zero latent heat in both topologies for all investigated γ ∈ [+0.2, −0.4], t...
