TI  - Scaling behavior of linear polymers in disordered media.
PG  - 020801
AB  - It has long been known that the universal scaling properties of linear polymers 
      in disordered media are well described by the statistics of self-avoiding walks 
      (SAWs) on percolation clusters and their critical exponent nu(SAW), with the SAW 
      implicitly referring to the average SAW. Hitherto, static averaging has been 
      commonly used, e.g., in numerical simulations, to determine what the average SAW 
      is. We assert that only kinetic, rather than static, averaging can lead to 
      asymptotic scaling behavior and corroborate our assertion by heuristic arguments 
      and a renormalizable field theory. Moreover, we calculate to two-loop order 
      nu(SAW), the exponent nu(max) for the longest SAW, and a family of multifractal 
      exponents nu(alpha).
