We present a new approach to investigating the dynamics of loop formation in a very crude polymer model and estimate the mean first time for the two ends to meet. This time depends on the number of monomers N. We obtain analytical formulas when N = 3,4 in dimension two and an asymptotic formula when N is large. Our analysis is confirmed by stochastic simulations. |
