چکیده
Self avoiding random surfaces on a cubic lattice are studied by extensive Monte Carlo sampling The surfaces have empty boundary and the topology of a sphere An oct tree data structure allows to obtain good statistics for surfaces whose plaquette number is almost an order of magnitude greater than in previous investigations Maximum likelihood determinations of the critical plaquette fugacity and entropic exponent can be extrapolated to the estimates and The linear regression estimate for the radius of gyration exponent is The results support a location of the problem within the branched polymers universality class

Enumeration study of self - avoiding random surfaces
We employ exact enumeration methods to study a number of configurational properties of self-avoiding random surfaces embedded in a three-dimensional simple cubic lattice. Self-avoiding surfaces are defined as a connected set of plaquettes in which no more than two plaquettes may meet along a common edge, and in which no plaquette can be occupied more than once. Based on enumeratingsurfaces cont...
متن کاملCrossover 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 کاملSelf - Avoiding Random Surfaces : Monte Carlo Study using Oct - tree Data
Self-avoiding random surfaces on a cubic lattice are studied by extensive Monte Carlo sampling. The surfaces have empty boundary and the topology of a 2-sphere. An oct-tree data-structure allows to obtain good statistics for surfaces whose plaquette number is almost an order of magnitude greater than in previous investigations. Maximum likelihood determinations of the critical plaquette fugacit...
متن کاملModeling dynamic surfaces with octrees
Past uses of octrees have been for representation of static objects. We discuss extensions necessary to model dynamic surfaces. One particularly important aspect of this is the ability to represent expanding surfaces that grow to be arbitrarily large. Our enhanced octree does exactly this, and models contraction as well. The ability to represent dynamic surfaces allows us to apply octrees to ne...
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...
