Abstract: | We report a numerical evidence that the string tension σ can be viewed as an order parameter of the phase transition, which separates the smooth phase from the crumpled one, in the fluid surface model of Helfrich and Polyakov-Kleinert. The model is defined on spherical surfaces with two fixed vertices of distance L. The string tension σ is calculated by regarding the surface as a string connecting the two points. We find that the phase transition strengthens as L is increased, and that σ vanishes in the crumpled phase and non-vanishes in the smooth phase. |
