Résumé
Abstract

Nous considérons un modèle de formation de polymères introduit par Durrett et Rogers (Probab. Theory Related Fields 92 (1992) 337-349). Nous prouvons leur conjecture sur le comportement asymptotique du processus continu associé $X_{t}$ (correspondant à l’emplacement de l’extrémité du polymère au temps $t$ ) pour un type particulier de fonction d’interaction répulsive à support non compact.

We consider a model of the shape of a growing polymer introduced by Durrett and Rogers (Probab. Theory Related Fields 92 (1992) 337-349). We prove their conjecture about the asymptotic behavior of the underlying continuous process $X_{t}$ (corresponding to the location of the end of the polymer at time $t$ ) for a particular type of repelling interaction function without compact support.
