Abstract

We present the results of a large-scale simulation of Dynamically Triangulated Random Surfaces with extrinsic curvature embedded in three-dimensional flat space. We measure a variety of local observables and use a finite size scaling analysis to characterize as much as possible the regime of crossover from crumpled to smooth surfaces.
