Abstract
We study various dynamical properties (winding angles, areas) of a set of h armonically bound Brownian particles (monomers), one endpoint of this chain being kept fixed at the origin 0. In particular, we show that. ibr long ti mes t, the areas {A(i)} enclosed by the monomers scale like t(1/2), with co rrelated gaussian distributions. This has to be compared to the winding ang les {theta (i)} around fixed points that scale like t and are distributed a ccording to independent Cauchy laws.
