Curvature Distribution of Worm-like Chains in Two and Three Dimensions
S. M. Rappaport, S. Medalion, Y. Rabin
Bending of worm-like polymers carries an energy penalty which results in the appearance of a persistence length l such that the polymer is straight on length scales smaller than l…

Differential Geometry of Polymer Models: Worm-like Chains, Ribbons and Fourier Knots
Shay M Rappaport, Yitzhak Rabin
We analyze several continuum models of polymers: worm-like chains, ribbons and Fourier knots. We show that the torsion of worm-like chains diverges and conclude that such chains ca…

Worm-like Polymer Loops and Fourier Knots
S. Rappaport, Y. Rabin, A. Yu. Grosberg
Every smooth closed curve can be represented by a suitable Fourier sum. We show that the ensemble of curves generated by randomly chosen Fourier coefficients with amplitudes invers…
