The selfavoiding walk is a mathematical model that has important applications in statistical mechanics and polymer science. In spite of its simple definitiona path on a lattice that does not visit the same site more than onceit is difficult to analyze mathematically. The SelfAvoiding Walk provides the first unified account of the known rigorous results for the selfavoiding walk, with particular emphasis on its critical behavior. Its goals are to give an account of the current mathematical understanding of the model, to indicate some of the applications of the concept in physics and in chemistry, and to give an introduction to some of the nonrigorous methods used in those fields.Topics covered in the book include: the lace expansion and its application to the selfavoiding walk in more than four dimensions where most issues are now resolved; an introduction to the nonrigorous scaling theory; classical work of Hammersley and others; a new exposition of Kestens pattern theorem and its consequences; a discussion of the decay of the twopoint function and its relation to probabilistic renewal theory; analysis of Monte Carlo methods that have been used to study the selfavoiding walk; the role of the selfavoiding walk in physical and chemical applications. Methods from combinatorics, probability theory, analysis, and mathematical physics play important roles. The book is highly accessible to both professionals and graduate students in mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
