Catene ideali con numero fissato di auto-intersezioni

Abstract

In this thesis we study in detail the self-intersection properties of Random Walks. Although notoriously hard to tackle, these properties are crucially related to the excluded-volume effect and other central features of real polymers. Our main purpose will be to study ideal chains (Random Walks) on lattice where the ratio between the number of self-intersections and the total length is fixed to some number.
