Aspherical gravitational monopoles
We show how to construct non-spherically-symmetric extended bodies of uniform
density behaving exactly as pointlike masses. These ``gravitational monopoles''
have the following equivalent properties: (i) they generate, outside them, a
spherically-symmetric gravitational potential ; (ii) their
interaction energy with an external gravitational potential is ; and (iii) all their multipole moments (of order ) with
respect to their center of mass vanish identically. The method applies for
any number of space dimensions. The free parameters entering the construction
are: (1) an arbitrary surface bounding a connected open subset
of ; (2) the arbitrary choice of the center of mass within
; and (3) the total volume of the body. An extension of the method
allows one to construct homogeneous bodies which are gravitationally equivalent
(in the sense of having exactly the same multipole moments) to any given body.Comment: 55 pages, Latex , submitted to Nucl.Phys.
Nonlocality in kinetic roughening
We propose a phenomenological equation to describe kinetic roughening of a
growing surface in presence of long range interactions. The roughness of the
evolving surface depends on the long range feature, and several distinct
scenarios of phase transitions are possible. Experimental implications are
discussed.Comment: Replaced with the published version (Phys. Rev. Lett 79, 2502

Web dynamics
The global usage and continuing exponential growth of the World Wide Web poses a host of challenges to the research community. In particular, there is an urgent need to understand and manage the dynamics of the Web, in order to develop new techniques that will make the Web tractable. MARK LEVENE and ALEXANDRA POULOVASSILIS provide an overview of recent statistics relating to the size of the Web graph and its growth. They then briefly review some of the key areas relating to Web dynamics with reference to the recent literature. Finally, they summarise the talks given in a recent workshop devoted to Web dynamics, which was held in the beginning of January 2001 at the University of London
