Many-body interactions and correlations in coarse-grained descriptions of polymer solutions.

We calculate the two-, three-, four-, and five-body (state-independent) effective potentials between the centers of mass (c.m.'s) of self-avoiding walk polymers by Monte Carlo simulations. For full overlap, these coarse-grained n-body interactions oscillate in sign as (-1)(n), and decrease in a...
