End-to-end Distance from the Green’s Function for a Hierarchical Self-Avoiding Walk in Four Dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In [BEI] we introduced a Levy process on a hierarchical lattice which is four dimensional, in the sense that the Green’s function for the process equals 1 |x|2 . If the process is modified so as to be weakly self-repelling, it was shown that at the critical killing rate (mass-squared) βc, the Green’s function behaves like the free one. Now we analyze the end-to-end distance of the model and show that its expected value grows as a constant times √ T log 1 8 T ( 1 +O ( log log T log T )) , which is the same law as has been conjectured for self-avoiding walks on the simple cubic lattice Z4. The proof uses inverse Laplace transforms to obtain the end-to-end distance from the Green’s function, and requires detailed properties of the Green’s function throughout a sector of the complex β plane. These estimates are derived in a companion paper [BI2]. ∗Research supported by NSF Grant DMS-9706166

Green’s Function for a Hierarchical Self-Avoiding Walk in Four Dimensions
This is the second of two papers on the end-to-end distance of a weakly selfrepelling walk on a four dimensional hierarchical lattice. It completes the proof that the expected value grows as a constant times √ T log 1 8 T (

These lectures are directed at analysts who are interested in learning some of the standard tools of theoretical physics, including functional integrals, the Feynman expansion, supersymmetry and the Renormalization Group. The lectures are centered on the problem of determining the asymptotics of the end-to-end distance of a self-avoiding walk on a D-dimensional simple cubic lattice as the numbe...
متن کاملScaling of Self-Avoiding Walks and Self-Avoiding Trails in Three Dimensions
Motivated by recent claims of a proof that the length scale exponent for the end-to-end distance scaling of self-avoiding walks is precisely 7/12 = 0.5833 . . ., we present results of large-scale simulations of self-avoiding walks and self-avoiding trails with repulsive contact interactions on the hypercubic lattice. We find no evidence to support this claim; our estimate ν = 0.5874(2) is in ac...
متن کاملCorrection-to-Scaling Exponents for Two-Dimensional Self-Avoiding Walks
We study the correction-to-scaling exponents for the two-dimensional selfavoiding walk, using a combination of series-extrapolation and Monte Carlo methods. We enumerate all self-avoiding walks up to 59 steps on the square lattice, and up to 40 steps on the triangular lattice, measuring the mean-square end-to-end distance, the mean-square radius of gyration and the mean-square distance of a mon...
متن کاملThe Global Renormalization Group Trajectory in a Critical Supersymmetric Field Theory on the Lattice Z
We consider an Euclidean supersymmetric field theory in Z given by a supersymmetric Φ perturbation of an underlying massless Gaussian measure on scalar bosonic and Grassmann fields with covariance the Green’s function of a (stable) Lévy random walk in Z. The Green’s function depends on the Lévy-Khintchine parameter α = 3+ε 2 with 0 < α < 2. For α = 3 2 the Φ 4 interaction is marginal. We prove ...
