Title: Smooth random surfaces from tight immersions

Abstract

We investigate actions for dynamically triangulated random surfaces that consist of a Gaussian or area term plus the [ital modulus] of the Gaussian curvature and compare their behavior with both Gaussian plus extrinsic curvature and Steiner'' actions.
