A variational $\nu=2/3$ state, which unifies the sharp edge picture of MacDonald with the soft edge picture of Chang and of Beenakker is presented and studied in detail. Using an exact relation between correlation functions of this state…
We show that there is a kind of quantum group symmetry $ sl_{q}(2) $ in the usual Landau problem and it is this quantum group symmetry that governs the degeneracy of Landau levels. We find that under the periodic boundary condition, the…
We propose a picture of stock market crashes as critical points in a hierachical system with discrete scaling. The critical exponent is then complex, leading to log-periodic fluctuations in stock market indexes. We present ``experimental''…
For an electron in the plane subjected to a perpendicular constant magnetic field and a homogeneous Gaussian random potential with a Gau{ss}ian covariance function we approximate the averaged density of states restricted to the lowest…
We numerically study in the one-dimensional case the validity of the functional calculated by Graham and coworkers as a Lyapunov potential for the Complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. In non-chaotic regions of parameter space the functional…
We analyze the acoustic attenuation rate in high-$T_c$ superconductors, and find that this method offers an additional way to examine the anisotropy of the superconducting order parameter in these materials. We argue that it should be…
The density of states and the optical conductivity of the doped Hubbard model on a Bethe lattice with infinite connectivities have been studied using an analytic variant of the Lanczos continued fraction method. The spectral weight of the…
We study both analytically and numerically the effects of including refractory periods in the Hopfield model for associative memory. These periods are introduced in the dynamics of the network as thresholds that depend on the state of the…
We study a monomer-dimer model with repulsive interactions between the same species in one dimension. With infinitely strong interactions the model exhibits a continuous transition from a reactive phase to an inactive phase with two…
The dynamical aspects of the phonoriton state in highly-photoexcited semiconductors is studied theoretically. The effect of the exciton-exciton interaction and nonbosonic character of high-density excitons are taken into account. Using…
We study the critical phenomena of the hard-sphere lattice gas on the simple cubic lattice with nearest neighbour exclusion by the Monte Carlo method. We get the critical exponents, $\beta / \nu$ = 0.313(9) and $\gamma / \nu$ = 2.37(2),…
We study classical particles on the sites of an open chain which diffuse, coagulate and decoagulate preferentially in one direction. The master equation is expressed in terms of a spin one-half Hamiltonian $H$ and the model is shown to be…
We study the effects of weak long-ranged antiferromagnetic interactions of strength $Q$ on a spin model with predominant short-ranged ferromagnetic interactions. In three dimensions, this model exhibits an avoided critical point in the…
The Falicov-Kimball model of spinless quantum electrons hopping on a 1-dimensional lattice and of immobile classical ions occupying some lattice sites, with only intrasite coupling between those particles, have been studied at zero…
We investigate the statistics of a model of type-I X-ray burst [Phys. Rev. E, {\bf 51}, 3045 (1995)] in its super-critical phase. The time evolution of the burnable clusters, places where fire can pass through, is studied using simple…
We consider a one-dimensional system of electrons interacting via a short-range repulsion and coupled to phonons close to the metal-insulator transition at half filling. We argue that the metal-insulator transition can be described as a…
The dynamics of strongly disordered systems becomes extremely slow or glassy at low temperatures, which results in a characteristic aging scenario. This means that the outcome of measurements strongly depends on the history of the system…
We derive the equilibrium and transport properties of metals using renormalization group equations and finite-size scaling. Particular attention is given to the well-known cases of Fermi and Luttinger liquids. An important subtlety is that…
The two-fluid model of liquid helium is generalized to the case that the superfluid fraction has a small entropy content. We present theoretical arguments in favour of such a small superfluid entropy. In the generalized two-fluid model…
The discussion of Fractional dimensional Hilbert spaces in the context of Haldane exclusion statistics is extended from the case \cite{IG} of $g=1/p$ for the statistical parameter to the case of rational $g=q/p$ with $q,p$-coprime positive…
