We study the statistics of semi-meanders, i.e. configurations of a set of roads crossing a river through n bridges, and possibly winding around its source, as a toy model for compa…
Meanders and the Temperley-Lieb algebra
P. Di Francesco, O. Golinelli, E. Guitter
The statistics of meanders is studied in connection with the Temperley-Lieb algebra. Each (multi-component) meander corresponds to a pair of reduced elements of the algebra. The as…
Meander, Folding and Arch Statistics
P. Di Francesco, O. Golinelli, E. Guitter
The statistics of meander and related problems are studied as particular realizations of compact polymer chain foldings. This paper presents a general discussion of these topics, w…
