Abstract

In this work we discuss the dynamics of a three dimensional chain which is described by generalized nonlinear sigma model The formula of the probability distribution of two topologically entangled chain is provided. The interesting case of a chain which can form only discrete angles with respect to the zz-axis is also presented.
