  • We consider the radius of gyration of a Gaussian topological polymer $G$ formed by subdividing a graph $G'$ of arbitrary topology (for instance, branched or multicyclic). We give a new exact formula for the expected radius of gyration and contraction factor of $G$ in terms of the number of subdivisions of each edge of $G'$ and a new weighted Kirchhoff index for $G'$. The formula explains and extends previous results for the contraction factor and Kirchhoff index of subdivided graphs.
