Phase transition of surface models with intrinsic curvature
H. Koibuchi, N. Kusano, A. Nidaira +2
It is reported that a surface model of Polyakov strings undergoes a first-order phase transition between smooth and crumpled (or branched polymer) phases. The Hamiltonian of the mo…

Phase transitions of a tethered surface model with a deficit angle term
Hiroshi Koibuchi, Zion Sasaki, Keisuke Shinohara
Nambu-Goto model is investigated by using the canonical Monte Carlo simulations on fixed connectivity surfaces of spherical topology. Three distinct phases are found: crumpled, tub…
