Smooth random surfaces from tight immersions?
نویسندگان
چکیده
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

A Tight Polyhedral Immersion of the Twisted Surface of Euler Characteristic −3
Early studies of tight surfaces showed that almost every surface can be immersed tightly in three-space. For these surfaces we can ask: How many significantly different tight immersions are there? If we consider two such immersions to be the same when they are image homotopic, then we can answer the question by determining the number of homotopy classes where tight immersions are possible. A co...
متن کاملTightness for Smooth and Polyhedral Immersions of the Projective Plane with One Handle
The recent discovery that there is a tight polyhedral immersion of the projective plane with one handle, while there is no smooth tight immersion of the same surface, provides a rare example in low dimensions of a significant difference between smooth and polyhedral surfaces. In this paper the author shows that the obstruction to smoothing the polyhedral model is not local in nature, and descri...
متن کاملFOCAL POINT AND FOCAL K-PLANE
This paper deals with the basic notions of k-tautimmersions . These notions come from two special cases; that is, tight and taut immersions. Tight and taut based on high and distance functions respectively and their basic notions are normal bundle, endpoint map, focal point, critical normal. We generalize hight and distance functions to cylindrical function and define basic notions of k-taut ...
متن کاملTight Surfaces with Boundary
In Differential Geometry an immersed smooth surface in 3-space is called tight if it has the minimum total absolute curvature among all immersed surfaces with the same topology. Tight surfaces without boundary were extensively studied, and tight surfaces with at least two boundary components are known to exist. An announcement of J.H.White in 1974 [19] stated that there are no smooth tight orie...
متن کاملImmersions of Surfaces with Boundary into the Plane
Let f : M→R2 be a smooth immersion of a compact connected oriented surface with boundary M into R. Kauffman defined an equivalence relation called image homotopy and classified the set of all orientation preserving immersions of M into R up to image homotopy. When M is of genus one and the number of boundary components is strictly greater than one, Kauffman’s result requires a correction. In th...
