In the first part of this work a summary is provided of some recent experiments and theoretical results which are relevant in the research of systems of polymer rings in nontrivial topological conformations. Next, some advances in modeling…
The conformational statistics of ring polymers in melts or dense solutions is strongly affected by their quenched microscopic topological state. The effect is particularly strong for untangled (i.e. non-concatenated and unknotted) rings,…
We present the statistical-mechanical theory of semiflexible polymers based on the connection between the Kratky-Porod model and the quantum rigid rotator in an external homogeneous field, and treatment of the latter using the quantum…
We study theoretically the scattering imprint of a number of branched supramacromolecular architectures, namely, polydisperse stars and dendrimeric, hyperbranched structures. We show that polydispersity and nature of branching highly…
A phenomenological mean-field theory is used to investigate the properties of solvent-diluted di-block copolymers (BCP), in which the two BCP components (A and B) form a variety of phases that are diluted by a solvent (S). Using this…
We consider an estimation problem of expected functionals of a general random element that values in a metric space. If the functional forms an explicit function of some unknown parameters, we can estimate it by plugging-in a suitable…
We consider dense random packing of disks with a power-law distribution of radii and investigate their correlation properties. We study the corresponding structure factor, mass-radius relation and pair distribution function of the disk…
The morphologies of phase separating systems have formal distinctions such as symmetry groups, but the analysis protocol for labeling a particular phase field with a morphology requires manual expertise, arbitrary thresholds, or established…
We study a single flexible chain molecule grafted to a membrane which has pores of size slightly larger than the monomer size. On both sides of the membrane there is the same solvent. When this solvent is good, i.e. when the polymer is…
The surface tension of interacting polymers in a good solvent is calculated theoretically and by computer simulations for a planar wall geometry and for the insertion of a single colloidal hard-sphere. This is achieved for the planar wall…

We investigate the conformational properties of a multi-branched polymer structure with a dendrimer-like topology, known as a snowflake polymer. This polymer is characterized by two parameters: $f_s$, which represents the functionality of…
We present a detailed study of the static and dynamic behavior of long semiflexible polymer chains in a melt. Starting from previously obtained fully equilibrated high molecular weight polymer melts [{\it Zhang et al.} ACS Macro Lett. 3,…
Confinement is a versatile and well-established tool to study the properties of polymers either to understand biological processes or to develop new nano-biomaterials. We investigate the conformations of a semiflexible polymer ring in weak…
We determine matrix elements for $B \to D$ semileptonic decay. The use of the constrained fitting method and multiple smearings for both two- and three-point correlators allows an improved calculation of the form factors.
Asymptotic behavior of distribution functions of local quantities in disordered conductors is studied in the weak disorder limit by means of an optimal fluctuation method. It is argued that this method is more appropriate for the study of…
We summarize recent results on the evolution of unpolarized parton densities and deep-inelastic structure functions in massless perturbative QCD. Due to last year's extension of the integer-moment calculations of the three-loop splitting…
Frustrated spin systems can show phases with spontaneous breaking of spin-rotational symmetry without the formation of local magnetic order. We study the dynamic response of the spin-nematic phase of one-dimensional spin-1/2 systems,…
We report molecular dynamics simulations of a system of repulsive, polymer-tethered colloidal particles. We use an explicit polymer model to explore how the length and the behavior of the polymer (ideal or self-avoiding) affect the ability…
We clarify the confusion in the expression of the static structure factor S(k) in the study of condensed matters and discuss its explicit form that can be directly used in calculations and computer simulations.
