Abstract

We show that, contrary to planar membranes under tension, tense membrane tubules exhibit important critical fluctuations originating from unidimensional Goldstone modes. The latter yield unexpected behavior, such as correlations extending over the whole tube length and the increase of the fluctuating area over the projected area with increasing tension.
