Abstract
A perspective on the connections between linear and branched polymer t heta collapses in two dimensions is provided by a vesicle model with v acancies. Percolation geometry plays simultaneously key roles in deter mining the multicritical properties of both problems. For branched pol ymers, besides two distinct theta lines, a transition between differen t collapsed regimes and several exponents are exactly obtained. Univer sality issues are also discussed.
