Abstract

Abstract We show how the theory of the critical behaviour of d -dimensional polymer networks gives a scaling relation for self-avoiding bridges that relates the critical exponent for bridges to that of terminally-attached self-avoiding arches, and the correlation length exponent We find In the case of the special transition, we find We provide compelling numerical evidence for this result in both two- and three-dimensions. Another subset of SAWs, called worms , are defined as the subset of SAWs whose origin and end-point have the same x -coordinate. We give a scaling relation for the corresponding critical exponent which is This too is supported by enumerative results in the two-dimensional case.
