Field Theory of N Entangled Polymers
Franco Ferrari, Hagen Kleinert, Ignazio Lazzizzera
We formulate a field theory capable of describing the entanglement in a canonical ensemble of N polymers in terms of Feynman diagrams.

Calculation of Second Topological Moment <m^2> of Two Entangled Polymers
F. Ferrari, H. Kleinert, I. Lazzizzera
We set up a Chern-Simons theory for the entanglement of two polymers P_1 and P_2, and calculate the second topological moment <m^2>, where m is the linking number. The result appli…

Second Topological Moment < m^2 > of Two Closed Entangled Polymers
F. Ferrari, H. Kleinert, I. Lazzizzera
We calculate the second topological moment < m^2 > of entanglement of two closed polymers and in a solution. The result holds approximately for a closed polymer linked…
