INTERACTIONS BETWEEN STAR POLYMERS: HIGH-ORDER CALCULATIONS OF THE SCALING EXPONENTS

The scaling behavior of star polymers can be calculated in the mightarrow 0 limit of an m-component spin system with an additional composite operator. The resulting scaling exponents describe the effective interaction of such polymer stars, i.e. the objects whose behavior interpolates between that o...
