A vner Friedman Robert Gulliver v PREFACE This book is the product of a workshop on Topology and Geometry of Polymers, held at the IMA in June 1996. The workshop brought together topologists, combinatorialists, theoretical physicists and polymer scientists, who share an interest in characterizing and predicting the microscopic en­ tanglement properties of polymers, and their effect on macroscopic physical properties. Table of Contents 1. Entanglement Complexity of Polymers.- Entanglements of polymers.- Entropic exponents of knotted lattice polygons.- The torsion of three-dimensional random walk.- 2. Knot Energies.- Self-repelling knots and local energy minima.- Properties of knot energies.- Energy and thickness of knots.- On distortion and thickness of knots.- 3. Random Linking.- Percolation of linked circles.- Minimal links in the cubic lattice.- 4. Effect of Geometrical Constraints.- Knots in graphs in subsets of Z3.- Topological entanglement complexity of polymer chains in confined geometries.- 5.

It is of interest to workers in polymer statistical mechanics but will also be useful as an introduction to topological methods for polymer scientists, and will introduce mathematicians to an area of science where topological approaches are making a substantial contribution.
