STRUCTURING THE SET OF INCOMPRESSIBLE QUANTUM HALL FLUIDS
A classification of incompressible quantum Hall fluids in terms of integral lattices and arithmetical invariants thereof is proposed. This classification enables us to characterize the plateau values of the Hall conductivity $\sH$ in the interval $\,(0,1]\,$ (in units where $\,e^2/h=1$) corresponding to ``stable'' inco...

On the dynamics of a spherical spin-glass
We carry out an analysis of the effect of a quenched magnetic field on the dynamics of the spherical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin-glass model. We show that there is a characteristic time introduced by the presence of the field. Firstly, for times sufficiently small the dynamic scenario of the zero field case - with agi...

Hohenberg-Kohn theorem is valid
In a recent PRL, Gonze et al claim that the density functional theory in Hohenberg-Kohn formulation is not valid for crystalline solids in a homogenious electric field. They introduce another theory, density-and-polarization functional theory, which has to substitute the DFT in the calculations of the long-wave dielect...

Crossover Phase Diagram of 2D Heisenberg Ferro- and Antiferromagnets
We propose a single crossover phase diagram applicable to 2D collinear Heisenberg antiferromagnets (AFMs) and ferromagnets (FMs), and show that the scaling regimes of AFMs and FMs are in one-to-one correspondence. The phase diagram is split into classical and quantum regions. Our two key results are: (i) in the classic...

We propose a model for diffusion-limited annihilation of two species, $A+B\to A$ or $B$, where the motion of the particles is subject to a drift.
