Abstract
The elastic response to elongation forces is studied for polymer chains of arbitrary stiffness using a recently discovered relation between semiflexible polymers and Euclidean Dirac fermions. We obtain elongation as a function of an external force and an elastic force as a function of elongation for polymer chains of arbitrary stiffness. We also obtain the elastic moduli for such chains. The obtained results represent a first step towards development of the consistent theory of semiflexible polymer networks.
