Fractional Brownian motion is a Gaussian stochastic process with long-range correlations in time; it has been shown to be a useful model of anomalous diffusion. Here, we investigate the effects of mutual interactions in an ensemble of…

We show random polymer is diffusive in dimensions 1 and 2 in probability in an intermediate scaling regime. The scale is $\beta= o(N^{-1/4})$ in d=1 and $\beta=o((\log N)^{-1/2})$ in $d=2$ as $N\rightarrow \infty$.
