Abstract

The decay of directional correlations in self-avoiding random walks on the square lattice is investigated. Analysis of exact enumerations and Monte Carlo data suggest that the correlation between the directions of the first step and the jth step of the walk decays faster than j^-1, indicating that the persistence length of the walk is finite.
