Random paths with curvature

Abstract

We present some results coming from a Monte Carlo simulation of a set of random paths with a curvature dependent action. This model can be considered as a toy model of the theory of random surfaces. The transition from free to rigid random paths has been analyzed and the similitude with the crumpling transition have been pointed out.
