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.

Expected ballisticity of a continuous self avoiding walk on hyperbolic spaces $mathbb{H}^d$ is established.
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 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.
We consider self-avoiding walk on a tree with random conductances. It is proven that in the weak disorder regime, the quenched critical point is equal to the annealed one, and that in the strong disorder regime, these critical points are strictly different. Derrida and Spohn, and Baffet, Patrick and Pul$acute{rm e}$ give the exact value of the quenched critical point. We give another heuristic approach by the fractional moment estimate.
