Abstract
A spherical model of skeleton with junctions is investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. The model is governed by one-dimensional bending energy. The results indicate that the model undergoes a first-order transition, which separates the smooth phase from the crumpled phase. The existence of phase transition indicates that junctions play a non-trivial role in the transition.
