Abstract
We present the results of a set of Monte Carlo simulations of Dynamically
Triangulated Random Surfaces embedded in three dimensions with an extrinsic
curvature dependent action. We analyze several
observables in the crossover regime and discuss whether or not our
observations are indicative of the presence of a phase transition.
