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 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.
We prove that for the $d$-regular tessellations of the hyperbolic plane by $k$-gons, there are exponentially more self-avoiding walks of length $n$ than there are self-avoiding polygons of length $n$, and we deduce that the self-avoiding walk is ballistic. The latter implication is proved to hold for arbitrary transitive graphs. Moreover, for every fixed $k$, we show that the connective constant for self-avoiding walks satisfies the asymptotic expansion $d-1-O(1/d)$ as $dto infty$; on the other hand, the connective constant for self-avoiding polygons remains bounded. Finally, we show for all but two tessellations that the number of self-avoiding walks of length $n$ is comparable to the $n$th power of their connective constant. Some of these results were previously obtained by Madras and Wu cite{MaWuSAW} for all but finitely many regular tessellations of the hyperbolic plane.
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.
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.
