We investigate the statistical mechanics of polymers with bending and torsional elasticity described by the helical wormlike model. Noticing that the energy function is factorizable, we provide a numerical method to solve the model using a transfer matrix formulation. The tangent-tangent and binormal-binormal correlation functions have been calculated and displayed rich profiles which are sensitive to the combination of the temperature and the equilibrium torsion. Their behaviors indicate that there is no finite temperature Lifshitz point between the disordered and helical phases. The asymptotic behavior at low temperature has been investigated theoretically and the predictions fit the numerical results very well. Our analysis could be used to understand the statics of dsDNA and other chiral polymers. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3548885]
