Numerical studies of the average size of trivially knotted polymer loops with
no excluded volume are undertaken. Topology is identified by Alexander and
Vassiliev degree 2 invariants. Probability of a trivial knot, average gyration
radius, and probability density distributions as functions of gyration radius
are generated for loops of up to N=3000 segments. Gyration radii of trivially
knotted loops are found to follow a power law similar to that of self avoiding
walks consistent with earlier theoretical predictions.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, submitted to PNAS (USA) in Feb 200
