MEAN AREA OF SELF-AVOIDING LOOPS

The mean area of two-dimensional unpressurized vesicles, or self-avoiding loops of fixed length N, behaves for large N as A0N3/2, while their mean square radius of gyration behaves as R02N3/2. The amplitude ratio A0/R02 is computed exactly and found to equal 4π/5. The physics of the pressurized case...
