Abstract
We solve models of self- and mutually avoiding M-mers placed on the Bethe lattice with additional energies that include (i) semiflexibility of the chains, (ii) attractive interactions between first neighbors, and (iii) preference for spatial orientation of bonds on the lattice. Free energies and phase diagrams are obtained and compared to earlier results when available. For the case of polymers on an anisotropic Bethe lattice with a coordination number equal to 4, we find two different polymerized phases.
