High-precision determination of the critical exponent gamma for self-avoiding walks

arXiv:cond-mat/9703250 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.57.R1215

Abstract

We compute the exponent gamma for self-avoiding walks in three dimensions. We get gamma = 1.1575 +- 0.0006 in agreement with renormalization-group predictions. Earlier Monte Carlo and exact-enumeration determinations are now seen to be biased by corrections to scaling.
