| Popis: | We study tensionless models of crystalline membranes and fluid membranes on triangulated surfaces of spherical topology. The Hamiltonian contains a bending energy and a hard wall potential. We find that a phase transition of shape fluctuation seen in the crystalline model is softened by the fluidity of lateral diffusion of vertices. |
