The conformational states of a semiflexible polymer enclosed in a volume V:=ℓ3 are studied as stochastic realizations of paths using the stochastic curvature approach developed in [Rev. E 100, 012503 (2019)], in the regime whenever 3ℓ/ℓp>1, where ℓp is the persistence length. The cases of a semiflexible polymer enclosed in a cube and sphere are considered. In these cases, we explore the Spakowitz–Wang–type polymer shape transition, where the critical persistence length distinguishes between an oscillating and a monotonic phase at the level of the mean-square end-to-end distance. This shape transition provides evidence of a universal signature of the behavior of a semiflexible polymer confined in a compact domain.

We point out that a formal analogy exists between the path integrals for the configuration sum of a polyelectrolyte and for the propagator of a polaron in a polar crystal. Using this analogy and some recent results in polaron theory we evaluate the mean square end-to-end distance <X2> of the polyelectroyte. It is shown that for large polymers the electrostatic interaction does not change the behaviour of <X2> from that of a free polymer.

In this paper we consider the model of a flexible polymer chain embedded in a quenched random medium with long-range disorder correlations. Using the Feynman path integral approach we show that for the case of long-range quadratic correlations, we obtain an analytical result. The result is [Formula: see text], where 〈R2〉 is the mean square end-to-end distance of the polymer chain, ξ is the correlation length of disorder, Δ is an unknown parameter, b is the Kuhn step length, ρ is the density of random obstacles and N is the number of links. It is shown that for a polymer chain in a random media with long-range quadratic correlations, where ρ is not too high, the behavior of the polymer chain is like that of a free chain. This result agrees with the calculation using the replica method. However, in a medium where ρ is very high, the variation of the mean square end-to-end distance with disorder and its distance depending on ρ are found in our approach.

The most important information for the practical use of flexible-chain polymers is the change in structure in the presence of external influences. A conformational model for calculating the mean square of the dipole moment of a macromolecule is constructed in this work, provided that there is no correlation between the conformations of monomer units in a heterogeneous temperature field.
