Scaling laws during collapse of a homopolymer: Lattice versus off-lattice

We present comparative results from simulations of a lattice and an off-lattice
model of a homopolymer, in the context of kinetics of the collapse transition. Scaling laws
related to the collapse time, cluster coarsening and aging behavior are compared. Although in
both models the cluster growth is independent of temperature, the related exponents turn out to
be different. Conversely, the aging and associated scaling properties are found to be universal,
with the nonequilibrium autocorrelation exponent obeying a recently derived bound.
