The approach is based on a recent version of the Ornstein-Zernike theory developed in earlier works. It leads to local limit results for various observables (e.g. displacement of the end-point or number of hits of a fixed finite pattern) on paths of n-step walks (polymers) on all possible deviation scales from CLT to LD. The class of models, which display ballistic phase in the \"universality class\" discussed in the paper, includes self-avoiding walks, Domb-Joyce model, random walks in an annealed random potential, reinforced polymers and weakly reinforced random walks.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-04-03T11:21:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "self-interacting random walks", "display ballistic phase", "local limit results", "annealed random potential", "domb-joyce model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0710.3095I" } } }
