  "abstract": "In the limit where $N\\to\\infty$ and the coupling constant $g \\to g_{c}$ in a correlated manner, O(N) symmetric vector models represent filamentary surfaces. The purpose of these studies is to gain intuition for the long lasting search for a possible description of quantum field theory in terms of extended objects. It is shown here that a certain limiting procedure has to be followed in order to avoid several difficulties in establishing the theory at a critical negative coupling constant. It is also argued that at finite temperature a certain metastable-false vacuum disappears as the temperature is increased.",
