We explain a unified approach to a study of ballistic phase for a large family of self-interacting random walks with a drift and self-interacting polymers with an external stretching force. The approach is based on a recent version of the…
We prove that self-avoiding walk on Z^d is sub-ballistic in any dimension d at least two. That is, writing ||u|| for the Euclidean norm of u \in Z^d, and SAW_n for the uniform measure on self-avoiding walks gamma:{0,...,n} \to Z^d for which…
We investigate polymers pulled away from an interacting surface, where the force is applied to the untethered endpoint and at an angle $\theta$ to the surface. We use the canonical self-avoiding walk model of polymers and obtain the phase…
In this paper we present a new and flexible method to show that, in one dimension, various self-repellent random walks converge to self-repellent Brownian motion in the limit of weak interaction after appropriate space-time scaling. Our…
We consider a self-avoiding walk model of polymer adsorption where the adsorbed polymer can be desorbed by the application of a force, concentrating on the case of the square lattice. Using series analysis methods we investigate the…
Expected ballisticity of a continuous self avoiding walk on hyperbolic spaces $\mathbb{H}^d$ is established.
We prove quantitative sub-ballisticity for the self-avoiding walk on the hexagonal lattice. Namely, we show that with high probability a self-avoiding walk of length $n$ does not exit a ball of radius $O(n/\log{n})$. Previously, only a…
We consider a self-avoiding walk model of polymer adsorption where the adsorbed polymer can be desorbed by the application of a force. In this paper the force is applied normal to the surface at the last vertex of the walk. We prove that…
We study the biased random walk in positive random conductances on $\mathbb {Z}^d$. This walk is transient in the direction of the bias. Our main result is that the random walk is ballistic if, and only if, the conductances have finite…
Extensive Monte Carlo data analysis gives clear evidence that collapsed linear polymers in two dimensions fall in the universality class of athermal, dense self-avoiding walks, as conjectured by B.Duplantier [Phys.Rev.Lett. 71, 4274…
The dynamical scaling properties of selfavoiding polymerized membranes with internal dimension D embedded into d dimensions are studied including hydrodynamical interactions. It is shown that the theory is renormalizable to all orders in…
We investigate the large-scale behaviour of the Self-Repelling Brownian Polymer (SRBP) in the critical dimension $d=2$. The SRBP is a model of self-repelling motion, which is formally given by the solution a stochastic differential equation…
In this paper we study a two-dimensional directed self-avoiding walk model of a random copolymer in a random emulsion.
The dynamical scaling properties of selfavoiding polymerized membranes with internal dimension D are studied using model A dynamics. It is shown that the theory is renormalizable to all orders in perturbation theory and that the dynamical…
We consider a variant of self-repelling random walk on the integer lattice Z where the self-repellence is defined in terms of the local time on oriented edges. The long-time asymptotic scaling of this walk is surprisingly different from the…
We show that non-oriented coloured polymers (self--avoiding walks with different types of links) are in the same universality class of the ordinary self--avoiding walks, while the oriented coloured are not.
Self-avoiding walks are a simple and well-known model of long, flexible polymers in a good solvent. Polymers being pulled away from a surface by an external agent can be modelled with self-avoiding walks in a half-space, with a Boltzmann…
We prove that a class of random walks on $\Z^2$ with long-range self-repulsive interactions have a diffusive-ballistic phase transition.
We consider a one-dimensional random walk among biased i.i.d. conductances, in the case where the random walk is transient but sub-ballistic: this occurs when the conductances have a heavy-tail at $+\infty$ or at $0$. We prove that the…
We consider a Hamiltonian involving the range of the simple random walk and the Wiener sausage so that the walk tends to stretch itself. This Hamiltonian can be easily extended to the multidimensional cases, since the Wiener sausage is…
