Knots and entanglement in polymers and biopolymers such as DNA and proteins constitute
a timely topic that spans various scientific disciplines ranging from physics to chemistry …

When a polymer molecule is subjected to a force (such as a tensile force) it responds and
this response gives information about the thermodynamics and structural properties of the …

This paper gives a rigorous analysis of the fluctuations of the Bose–Einstein condensate for
a system of non-interacting bosons in an arbitrary potential, assuming that the system is …

We consider a self-avoiding walk model of polymer adsorption where the adsorbed polymer
can be desorbed by the application of a force. In this paper the force is applied normal to the …

We consider a self-avoiding walk model of polymer adsorption where the adsorbed polymer
can be desorbed by the application of a force, concentrating on the case of the square …

We prove some theorems about self-avoiding walks attached to an impenetrable surface (ie
positive walks) and subject to a force. Specifically we show the force dependence of the free …

We consider a model of a polymer in ℤ d+ 1, constrained to join 0 and a hyperplane at
distance N. The polymer is subject to a quenched nonnegative random environment …

Self-avoiding walks (SAWs) are a simple and well-known model of long, flexible polymers in
a good solvent. Polymers being pulled away from a surface by an external agent can be …

We consider a self-avoiding walk on the d-dimensional hypercubic lattice, terminally
attached to an impenetrable hyperplane at which it can adsorb. When a force is applied the …

We examine the topological entanglements of polygons confined to a lattice tube and under
the influence of an external tensile force f. The existence of the limiting free energy for these …
