Abstract
The infinitesimal stability of fluid vesicle shapes is studied as a function of vesicle volume and spontaneous membrane curvature at fixed area. It is found that the azimuthally symmetric shapes are infinitesimally unstable for some values of these parameters. A possible connection with the sickling of red blood cells is pointed out.
