In [math-ph/0107005] we have proven that the generating function for self-avoiding branched polymers in D+2 continuum dimensions is proportional to the pressure of the hard-core continuum gas at negative activity in D dimensions. This…
This article will review recent results on dimensional reduction for branched polymers, and discuss implications for critical phenomena. Parisi and Sourlas argued in 1981 that branched polymers fall into the universality class of the…
Dimensional reduction occurs when the critical behavior of one system can be related to that of another system in a lower dimension. We show that this occurs for directed branched polymers (DBP) by giving an exact relationship between DBP…
We study the adsorption-desorption phase transition of directed branched polymer in $d+1$ dimensions in contact with a line by mapping it to a $d$ dimensional hard core lattice gas at negative activity. We solve the model exactly in 1+1…
We find that 2-dimensional (2-D) critical branched polymers with no impurities conclusively belong to the same universality class as 2-D random percolation clusters, although pure critical 3-D branched polymers do not belong to the 3-D…
We study directed polymers subject to a quenched random potential in d transversal dimensions. This system is closely related to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation of nonlinear stochastic growth. By a careful analysis of the perturbation…
A directed polymer is allowed to branch, with configurations determined by global energy optimization and disorder. A finite size scaling analysis in 2D shows that, if disorder makes branching more and more favorable, a critical transition…
The Brydges-Imbrie dimensional reduction formula relates the pressure of a $d$-dimensional gas of hard spheres to a model of $(d+2)$-dimensional branched polymers. Brydges and Imbrie's proof was non-constructive and relied on a…
Stretched polymers with attractive interaction are studied in two and three dimensions. They are described by biased self-avoiding random walks with nearest neighbour attraction. The bias corresponds to opposite forces applied to the first…
We study an ensemble of branched polymers which are embedded on other branched polymers. This is a toy model which allows us to study explicitly the reaction of a statistical system on an underlying geometrical structure, a problem of…
We study the correlation functions in the branched polymer model. Although there are no correlations in the grand canonical ensemble, when looking at the canonical ensemble we find negative long range power like correlations. We propose…
This article introduces a finite piecewise Euclidean cell complex homeomorphic to the space of monic centered complex polynomials of degree $d$ whose critical values lie in a fixed closed rectangular region. We call this the branched…
We study a supposed model for branched polymers which was shown in two dimensions to be in the universality class of ordinary percolation. We confirm this by high statistics simulations and show that it is in the percolation universality…
We investigate the statistical properties of a randomly branched 3--functional $N$--link polymer chain without excluded volume, whose one point is fixed at the distance $d$ from the impenetrable surface in a 3--dimensional space. Exactly…
We generalize the construction of connected branched polymers and the notion of the volume of the space of connected branched polymers studied by Brydges and Imbrie, and Kenyon and Winkler to any hyperplane arrangement A. The volume of the…
The 1+1 dimensional directed polymers in a Poissonean random environment is studied. For two polymers of maximal length with the same origin and distinct end points we establish that the point of last branching is governed by the exponent…
We study the scaling properties of polymers in a d-dimensional medium with quenched defects that have power law correlations ~r^{-a} for large separations r. This type of disorder is known to be relevant for magnetic phase transitions. We…
We have extended, in most cases through 24th order, the series expansions of the dimer density in powers of the activity in the case of bipartite ((hyper)-simple-cubic and (hyper)-body-centered-cubic) lattices of dimensionalities 2<= d <=…
The phase diagram of the collapse of a two-dimensional infinite branched polymer interacting with the solvent and with itself through contact interactions is studied from the $q\to 1$ limit of an extension of the $q-$ states Potts model.…
We discuss the extension of the empirical equation: $\left\langle s_{N}^{2}\right\rangle_{0}\propto g\,l^{2}$, where the subscript 0 denotes the ideal value with no excluded volume and $g$ the generation number from the root to the youngest…
