Probability Theory Compatible with the New Conception of Modern Thermodynamics. Economics and Crisis of Debts
We show that G\"odel's negative results concerning arithmetic, which date
back to the 1930s, and the ancient "sand pile" paradox (known also as "sorites
paradox") pose the questions of the use of fuzzy sets and of the effect of a
measuring device on the experiment. The consideration of these facts led, in
thermodynamics, to a new one-parameter family of ideal gases. In turn, this
leads to a new approach to probability theory (including the new notion of
independent events). As applied to economics, this gives the correction, based
on Friedman's rule, to Irving Fisher's "Main Law of Economics" and enables us
to consider the theory of debt crisis.Comment: 48p., 14 figs., 82 refs.; more precise mathematical explanations are

On the superfluidity of classical liquid in nanotubes
In 2001, the author proposed the ultra second quantization method. The ultra
second quantization of the Schr\"odinger equation, as well as its ordinary
second quantization, is a representation of the N-particle Schr\"odinger
equation, and this means that basically the ultra second quantization of the
equation is the same as the original N-particle equation: they coincide in
3N-dimensional space.
We consider a short action pairwise potential V(x_i -x_j). This means that as
the number of particles tends to infinity, , interaction is
possible for only a finite number of particles. Therefore, the potential
depends on N in the following way: . If V(y) is finite
with support , then as the support engulfs a finite
number of particles, and this number does not depend on N.
As a result, it turns out that the superfluidity occurs for velocities less
than , where
is the critical Landau velocity and R is the radius of
the nanotube.Comment: Latex, 20p. The text is presented for the International Workshop

Derivation of the Gutenberg-Richter Empirical Formula from the Solution of the Generalized Logistic Equation
We have written a new equation to study the statistics of earthquake
distributions. We call this equation "the generalized logistic equation". The
Gutenberg-Richter frequency-magnitude formula was derived from the solution of
the generalized logistic equation as an asymptotic case in approximation of
large magnitudes. To illustrate how the found solution of the generalized
logistic equation works, it was used to approximate the observed cumulative
distribution of earthquakes in four different geological provinces: the Central
Atlantic (40N-25N, 5W-35W), Canary Islands, Magellan Mountains (20N-9S,
148E-170E), and the Sea of Japan. This approximation showed the excellent fit
between the theoretical curves and observed data for earthquake magnitudes
