Abstract
The exponents for large branched dilute polymers (which are also connected with the exponents of the lattice animals) are related in dimensions to the exponents of the Lee-Yang edge singularity of the Ising model in dimensions. From the exact solution of the Ising model in zero and one dimension, one gets the polymer exponents in two and three dimensions, and .
