Abstract
A model for the fragmentation of a nucleus is developed. Parallels of the description of this process with other areas are shown which include Feynman's theory of the transition in liquid Helium, Bose condensation, and Markov process models used in stochastic networks and polymer physics. These parallels are used to generalize and further develop a previous exactly solvable model of nuclear fragmentation. An analysis of some experimental data is given.
