The self-avoiding walk on the square site-diluted correlated percolation lattice is considered. The Ising model is employed to realize the spatial correlations of the metric space. As a well-accepted result, the (generalized) Flory's mean…
We study self-avoiding walks on the square lattice restricted to a square box of side $L$ weighted by a length fugacity without restriction of their end points. This models a confined polymer in dilute solution. The model admits a phase…
We introduce classes of restricted walks, surfaces and their generalisations. For example, self-osculating walks (SOWs) are supersets of self-avoiding walks (SAWs) where edges are still not allowed to cross but may 'kiss' at a vertex. They…
In this article, we consider the number of collisions of three independent simple random walks on a subgraph of the two-dimensional square lattice obtained by removing all horizontal edges with vertical coordinate not equal to 0 and then,…
The connective constant $\mu(G)$ of an infinite transitive graph $G$ is the exponential growth rate of the number of self-avoiding walks from a given origin. The relationship between connective constants and amenability is explored in the…
The scaling properties of self-avoiding walks on a d-dimensional diluted lattice at the percolation threshold are analyzed by a field-theoretical renormalization group approach. To this end we reconsider the model of Y. Meir and A. B.…
In the past decade, a lot of attention has been devoted to the enumera-tion of walks with prescribed steps confined to a convex cone. In two dimensions, this means counting walks in the first quadrant of the plane (possibly after a linear…
A comprehensive numerical study of self-avoiding walks (SAW's) on randomly diluted lattices in two and three dimensions is carried out. The critical exponents $\nu$ and $\chi$ are calculated for various different occupation probabilities,…
We derive the exact critical line of the O($n$) loop model on the martini lattice as a function of the loop weight $n$.A finite-size scaling analysis based on transfer matrix calculations is also performed.The numerical results coincide…
We have analyzed geometric and topological features of self-avoiding walks. We introduce a new kind of walk: the loop-deleted self-avoiding walk (LDSAW) motivated by the interaction of chromatin with the nuclear lamina. Its critical…
We prove $|x|^{-2}$ decay of the critical two-point function for the continuous-time weakly self-avoiding walk on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, in the upper critical dimension $d=4$. This is a statement that the critical exponent $\eta$ exists and is…
In [BEI] we introduced a Levy process on a hierarchical lattice which is four dimensional, in the sense that the Green's function for the process equals 1/x^2. If the process is modified so as to be weakly self-repelling, it was shown that…
We study the path behaviour of a simple random walk on the 2-dimensional comb lattice ${\mathbb C}^2$ that is obtained from ${\mathbb Z}^2$ by removing all horizontal edges off the x-axis. In particular, we prove a strong approximation…
We study self-avoiding walks on the four-dimensional hypercubic lattice via Monte Carlo simulations of walks with up to one billion steps. We study the expected logarithmic corrections to scaling, and find convincing evidence in support the…
In the first part of this paper, we enumerate exactly walks on the square lattice that start from the origin, but otherwise avoid the non positive horizontal half-axis. We call them "walks on the slit plane". We count them by their length,…
We study via Monte Carlo simulation a generalisation of the so-called vertex interacting self-avoiding walk (VISAW) model on the square lattice. The configurations are actually not self-avoiding walks but rather restricted self-avoiding…
Self-avoiding walks on the body-centered-cubic (BCC) and face-centered-cubic (FCC) lattices are enumerated up to lengths 28 and 24, respectively, using the length-doubling method. Analysis of the enumeration results yields values for the…
We derive the exact critical couplings ($x^*, y_{\rm a}^*$), where $y_{\rm a}^*/x^* = \sqrt{1+\sqrt2} = 1.533\ldots\,$, for the polymer adsorption transition on the honeycomb lattice, along with the universal critical exponents, from the…
We review the existence of the infinite length self-avoiding walk in the half plane and its relationship to bridges. We prove that this probability measure is also given by the limit as $\beta \rightarrow \beta_c-$ of the probability…
For the hard-core lattice gas model defined on independent sets weighted by an activity $\lambda$, we study the critical activity $\lambda_c(\mathbb{Z}^2)$ for the uniqueness/non-uniqueness threshold on the 2-dimensional integer lattice…
