What is Ising Model and Polymer Connections about?
The document discusses connecting self-avoiding walks (polymers) to critical points of spin models through statistical mechanics. It shows that the partition function of the Ising model can be written as a sum over closed non-intersecting loops on the lattice. This loop representation allows applying insights from spin models to polymer problems. Similarly, the O(n) model partition function is expressed as a weighted sum over disjoint loops. Taking n to 0 relates this to self-avoiding polygons, providing a
