Abstract
It is pointed out that if one considers the n=0 limit of a magnetic system consisting of n-component classical spins on a lattice, one indeed obtains a correspondence with a system of self-avoiding random walks, that is, polymer chains with excluded volume in a solution, but the correspondence is not isomorphic. It turns out that K and H do not serve as the activities for the polymer system, which in fact are given by Kz and Hz, where z=1+H22. Moreover, the polymer free energy W^ is also different from the magnetic free energy W0 in the limit n0. It is also pointed out that W^ satisfies the proper convexity properties, even though W0 need not.
