The radius of a polymer at a near-critical temperature

We consider a mean-field model of a polymer with a spherically symmetric finitely supported potential. We describe how the typical size of the polymer depends on the two parameters: the temperature, which approaches the critical value, and the length of the polymer chain, which goes to infinity.
