Exact Solution for a 1-dimensional model for Reptation

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-11 v1 Soft Condensed Matter

Abstract

We discuss the exact solution for the properties of the recently introduced ``necklace'' model for reptation. The solution gives the drift velocity, diffusion constant and renewal time for asymptotically long chains. Its properties are also related to a special case of the Rubinstein-Duke model in one dimension.
