Anisotropic critical phenomena in parabolic geometries: the directed self-avoiding walk
Turban, L.
Original · EN
The critical behaviour of directed self-avoiding walks is studied on parabolic-like systems with a free boundary at x=± Ctα. Using a scaling argument, 1/C is shown to be a marginal variable when α=ν⊥/ν∥=1/2, i.e., on a parabola. As a consequence the directed walk may display varying local exponents. Such a behaviour is indeed observed for restricted walks. This generalizes a result of Cardy showing that nonuniversal behaviour occurs at corners for isotropic systems.
