Abstract: We study a model of semi-flexible self-avoiding trails, where the lattice paths are constrained to visit each lattice edge at most once, with configurations weighted by the number of collisions, crossings and bends, on a Husimi lattice built with squares. We find a rich phase diagram with five phases: a non-polymerised phase (), low density () and high density () polymerised phases, and, for sufficiently large stiffness, two additional anisotropic (nematic) ( and ) polymerised phases within the phase. Moreover, the {�f AN1} phase which shows a broken symmetry with a preferential direction, is separated from the phase by the other nematic phase. Although this scenario is similar to what was found in our previous calculation on the Bethe lattice, where the transition was discontinuous and critical, the presence of the additional nematic phase between them introduces a qualitative difference. Other details of the phase diagram are that a line of tri-critical points may separate the transition surface into a continuous and a discontinuous portion, and that the same may happen at the transition surface, details of which depend on whether crossings are allowed or forbidden. A critical end-point line is also found in the phase diagram.
