-This is the $n\rightarrow 0$ specialization of the [[on_model]].+A self-avoiding random walk (or self-avoiding walk, or SAW) is a path on a $d$-dimensional lattice in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ which never visits the same point more than once. As a statistical model, they are defined as the set of all such paths with length $n$ weighted with equal probability. A number of questions concerning their behavior as $n \to \infty$ are still open, and the models display a rich variety of critical behavior.

 +This is the $n\rightarrow 0$ specialization of the [[on_model]]. This model is an example of a logarithmic CFT, which are non-unitarity.
