Anisotropic Self - Avoiding Walks

چکیده
We consider a model of self-avoiding walks on the lattice Zd with different weights for steps in each of the 2d lattice directions. We find that the directiondependent mass for the two-point function of this model has three phases: mass positive in all directions; mass identically −∞; and masses of different signs in different directions. The final possibility can only occur if the weights are asymmetric, i.e. in at least one coordinate the weight in the positive direction differs from the weight in the negative direction. The boundaries of these phases are determined exactly. We also prove that if the weights are asymmetric then a typical N -step self-avoiding walk has order N distance between its endpoints.

Prudent Self-Avoiding Walks
We have produced extended series for prudent self-avoiding walks on the square lattice. These are subsets of self-avoiding walks. We conjecture the exact growth constant and critical exponent for the walks, and show that the (anisotropic) generating function is almost certainly not differentiably-finite.
متن کاملOn anisotropic spiral self-avoiding walks
We report on a Monte Carlo study of so-called two-choice-spiral self-avoiding walks on the square lattice. These have the property that their geometric size (such as is measured by the radius of gyration) scales anisotropically, with exponent values that seem to defy rational fraction conjectures. This polymer model was previously understood to be in a universality class different to ordinary s...

متن کاملSelf-avoiding walks, neighbour-avoiding walks and trails on semiregular lattices
We study self-avoiding and neighbour-avoiding walks and lattice trails on two semiregular lattices, the (3.122) lattice and the (4.82) lattice. For the (3.122) lattice we find the exact connective constant for both self-avoiding walks, neighbour-avoiding walks and trails. For the (4.82) lattice we generate long series which permit the accurate estimation of the connective constant for self-avoi...
متن کاملBallistic behavior for biased self-avoiding walks
For self-avoiding walks on the d-dimensional cubic lattice defined with a positive bias in one of the coordinate directions, it is proved that the drift in the favored direction is strictly positive. c © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Keyword: Biased self-avoiding walks
