Computational aspects of simulating dynamically triangulated random surfaces

Abstract

We briefly outline string theory, explain how it is formulated discretely on a computer in terms of dynamically triangulated random surfaces, and describe a computer program that simulates such surfaces with extrinsic curvature embedded in arbitrary dimension.
