    "abstract": "We study the link between three seeming-disparate cases of self-avoiding\npolymers: strongly overlapping multiple chains in dilute solution, chains under\nspherical confinement, and the onset of semi-dilute solutions. Our main result\nis that the free energy for overlapping $n$ chains is \\emph{independent} of\nchain length and scales as $n^{9/4}$, slowly crossing over to $n^3$, as $n$\nincreases. For strongly confined polymers inside a spherical cavity, we show\nthat rearranging the chains does not cost an additional free energy. Our\nresults imply that, during cell cycle, \\emph{global} reorganization of\neukaryotic chromosomes in a large cell nucleus could be readily achieved.",
