Smooth Random Surfaces from Tight Immersions?

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We investigate actions for dynamically triangulated random surfaces that consist of a gaussian or area term plus the {\it modulus} of the gaussian curvature and compare their behavior with both gaussian plus extrinsic curvature and ``Steiner'' actions.
