Abstract
Using a transfer matrix technique and finite size scaling, the authors calculate the exponent nu t of two-dimensional polymers at the theta point. They find nu t=0.55+or-0.01 by two slightly different calculations on the square lattice. This value is compared with those which had been previously proposed in the literature.Keywords
