We consider the simplest representative of the class of multiply branched polymer macromolecules, known as a pom-pom structure. The molecule consists of a backbone linear chain terminated by two branching points with functionalities…
We point out some misconceptions in a recent paper by H. Aoki et al. [hep-th/9909060]. In particular, the claim that the two-point function of branched polymers behaves as 1/p^4 instead of 1/p^2 for large p is mistaken and in no way a…
The behavior of annealed branched polymers near adsorbing surfaces plays a fundamental role in many biological and industrial processes. Most importantly single stranded RNA in solution tends to fold up and self-bind to form a highly…
A simple application of classical density functional theory is derived and applied to a system of polymers grafted to a plane. The system is assumed to have symmetry in directions parallel to the grafting plane hence it being a…
The dimensional reductions in the branched polymer and the random field Ising model (RFIM) are discussed by a conformal bootstrap method. The small size minors are applied for the evaluations of the scale dimensions of these two models and…
We present a dynamical field theory for directed randomly branched polymers and in particular their collapse transition. We develop a phenomenological model in the form of a stochastic response functional that allows us to address several…
The equilibrium statistical mechanics of classical directed polymers in 2 dimensions is well known to be equivalent to the imaginary-time quantum dynamics of a 1+1-dimensional many-particle system, with polymer configurations corresponding…
We propose a classification of critical behaviours of branched polymers for arbitrary topology. We show that in an appropriately defined double scaling limit the singular part of the partition function is universal. We calculate this…
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…
Randomly branching polymers with {\em annealed} connectivity are model systems for ring polymers and chromosomes. In this context, the branched structure represents transient folding induced by topological constraints. Here we present…
The metric of two-dimensional quantum gravity interacting with conformal matter is believed to collapse to a branched polymer metric when the central charge c>1. We show analytically that the spectral dimension of such a branched polymer…
We consider flexible branched polymer, with quenched branch structure, and show that its conformational entropy as a function of its gyration radius $R$, at large $R$, obeys, in the scaling sense, $\Delta S \sim R^2/(a^2L)$, with $a$ bond…
We present a variational approach for directed polymers in $D$ transversal dimensions which is used to compute the corrections to the mean field theory predictions with broken replica symmetry. The trial function is taken to be 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 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…
We use the method of dimensional reduction to show that a branching polymer with excluded volume interaction confined between two flat plates has, in the thermodynamic limit, a confinement free energy and density profile that is the same as…
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 construct the least superharmonic majorant of a continuous function $g$ on the $d$-dimensional unit ball ($d \geq 2$) via a canonical sequential scheme. While classical theory identifies this majorant with the value function of the…
Limited-valency colloidal particles can self-assemble into polymeric structures analogous to molecules. While their structural equilibrium properties have attracted wide attention, insight into their dynamics has proven challenging. Here,…
We study the continuum field theory for an ensemble of directed polymers r_i (t) in 1+d' dimensions that live in a medium with quenched point disorder and interact via short-ranged pair forces g \Psi (r_i - r_j). In the strong-disorder (or…
