We give a survey and unified treatment of functional integral representations for both simple random walk and some self-avoiding walk models, including models with strict self-avoidance, with weak self-avoidance, and a model of walks and loops. Our representation for the strictly self-avoiding walk is new. The representations have recently been used as the point of departure for rigorous renormalization group analyses of self-avoiding walk models in dimension 4. For the models without loops, the integral representations involve fermions, and we also provide an introduction to fermionic integrals. The fermionic integrals are in terms of anti-commuting Grassmann variables, which can be conveniently interpreted as differential forms.

Following similar analysis to that in Lacoin (PTRF 159, 777-808, 2014), we can show that the quenched critical point for self-avoiding walk on random conductors on the d-dimensional integer lattice is almost surely a constant, which does not depend on the location of the reference point. We provide its upper and lower bounds that are valid for all dimensions.
We consider a long-range version of self-avoiding walk in dimension $d > 2(alpha wedge 2)$, where $d$ denotes dimension and $alpha$ the power-law decay exponent of the coupling function. Under appropriate scaling we prove convergence to Brownian motion for $alpha ge 2$, and to $alpha$-stable Levy motion for $alpha < 2$. This complements results by Slade (1988), who proves convergence to Brownian motion for nearest-neighbor self-avoiding walk in high dimension.
We consider self-avoiding walk, percolation and the Ising model with long and finite range. By means of the lace expansion we prove mean-field behavior for these models if $d>2(alphawedge2)$ for self-avoiding walk and the Ising model, and $d>3(alphawedge2)$ for percolation, where $d$ denotes the dimension and $alpha$ the power-law decay exponent of the coupling function. We provide a simplified analysis of the lace expansion based on the trigonometric approach in Borgs et al. (2007)
This article is concerned with self-avoiding walks (SAW) on $mathbb{Z}^{d}$ that are subject to a self-attraction. The attraction, which rewards instances of adjacent parallel edges, introduces difficulties that are not present in ordinary SAW. Ueltschi has shown how to overcome these difficulties for sufficiently regular infinite-range step distributions and weak self-attractions. This article considers the case of bounded step distributions. For weak self-attractions we show that the connective constant exists, and, in $dgeq 5$, carry out a lace expansion analysis to prove the mean-field behaviour of the critical two-point function, hereby addressing a problem posed by den Hollander.
We consider random walk and self-avoiding walk whose 1-step distribution is given by $D$, and oriented percolation whose bond-occupation probability is proportional to $D$. Suppose that $D(x)$ decays as $|x|^{-d-alpha}$ with $alpha>0$. For random walk in any dimension $d$ and for self-avoiding walk and critical/subcritical oriented percolation above the common upper-critical dimension $d_{mathrm{c}}equiv2(alphawedge2)$, we prove large-$t$ asymptotics of the gyration radius, which is the average end-to-end distance of random walk/self-avoiding walk of length $t$ or the average spatial size of an oriented percolation cluster at time $t$. This proves the conjecture for long-range self-avoiding walk in [Ann. Inst. H. Poincar{e} Probab. Statist. (2010), to appear] and for long-range oriented percolation in [Probab. Theory Related Fields 142 (2008) 151--188] and [Probab. Theory Related Fields 145 (2009) 435--458].
