Abstract
The authors reconsider the problem of diffusion on a self-avoiding walk with local bridges. Levy flight arguments are presented to estimate the spectral dimension, based on known results on the statistics of loops in a SAW. Agreement with ESR experiments on proteins and with numerical simulations is found to be satisfactory.Keywords
