Polymer chains that interact with themselves and/or with their environment are fascinating objects, displaying a range of interesting physical and chemical phen

This book provides an introduction to lattice models of polymers. This is an important topic both in the theory of critical phenomena and the modelling of polym

Analyzing the phase transition from diffusive to localized behavior in a model of directed polymers in a random environment, this volume places particular empha
