We set up an SPDE model for a moving, weakly self-avoiding polymer with intrinsic length $J$ taking values in $(0,\infty)$. Our main result states that the effective radius of the polymer is approximately $J^{5/3}$; evidently for large $J$…
We study elastic manifolds with self-repelling terms and estimate their effective radius. This class of manifolds is modelled by a self-repelling vector-valued Gaussian free field with Neumann boundary conditions over the domain…
We study the radius $R_T$ of a self-repellent fractional Brownian motion $\left\{B^H_t\right\}_{0\le t\le T}$ taking values in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Our sharpest result is for $d=1$, where we find that with high probability, \begin{equation*} R_T…
We calculate the mean end-to-end distance ($R$) of a self-avoiding polymer encapsulated in an infinitely long cylinder with radius $D$. A self-consistent perturbation theory is used to calculate $R$ as a function of $D$ for impenetrable…
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…
The distance-resolved effective interaction between two star polymers in a good solvent is calculated by Molecular Dynamics computer simulations. The results are compared with a pair potential proposed recently by Likos et al. [Phys. Rev.…
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…
We consider polymers in which M randomly selected pairs of monomers are restricted to be in contact. Analytical arguments and numerical simulations show that an ideal (Gaussian) chain of N monomers remains expanded as long as M<<N; its mean…
We perform a Monte Carlo study of $N$-step self-avoiding walks, attached to the corner of an impenetrable wedge in two dimensions ($d=2$), or the tip of an impenetrable cone in $d=3$, of sizes ranging up to $N=10^6$ steps. We find that the…
Considering the damped wave equation with a Gaussian noise $F$ where $F$ is white in time and has a covariance function depending on spatial variables, we will see that this equation has a mild solution which is stationary in time $t$. We…
We study scaling properties of self avoiding polymer stars and networks of arbitrary given but fixed topology. We use massive field theoretical renormalization group framework to calculate critical exponents governing their universal…
This work is inspired by a remark of de Gennes about polyelectrolytes, which are charged polymers. A common model for a polymer is a self-avoiding or self-repelling random walk or Brownian motion. For polyelectrolytes, the repelling…
We consider random walk and self-avoiding walk whose 1-step distribution is given by $D$, and oriented percolation whose bond-occupation probability is proportional to $D$. Suppose that $D(x)$ decays as $|x|^{-d-\alpha}$ with $\alpha>0$.…
We consider self-repelling elastic manifolds with a domain $[-N,N]^d \cap \mathbb{Z}^d$, that take values in $\mathbb{R}^D$. Our main result states that when the dimension of the domain is $d=2$ and the dimension of the range is $D=1$, the…
We study the orbital evolution of wide binary stars in the solar neighborhood due to gravitational perturbations from passing stars. We include the effects of the Galactic tidal field and continue to follow the stars after they become…
We use new algorithms, based on the finite lattice method of series expansion, to extend the enumeration of self-avoiding walks and polygons on the triangular lattice to length 40 and 60, respectively. For self-avoiding walks to length 40…
An explicit expression is derived for the scattering function of a self-avoiding polymer chain in a $d$-dimensional space. The effect of strength of segment interactions on the shape of the scattering function and the radius of gyration of…
Self-avoiding polymers in strictly two-dimensional ($d=2$) melts are investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulation of a standard bead-spring model with chain lengths ranging up to N=2048. % The chains adopt compact configurations…
We consider a Brownian particle with diffusion coefficient $D$ in a $d$-dimensional ball of radius $R$ with reflecting boundaries. We study the maximum $M_x(t)$ of the trajectory of the particle along the $x$-direction at time $t$. In the…
Based on transfer matrix techniques and finite size scaling, we study the oriented polymer (self-avoiding walk) with nearest neighbor interaction. In the repulsive regime, various critical exponents are computed and compared with exact…
