    We show that the authors in the title have erred in claiming that our axiom FIN is false by conflating it with Bell locality. We also argue that the predictions of quantum mechanics, and in particular EPR, are fully Lorentz invariant, whereas the Free Will Theorem shows that theories with a mechanism of reduction, such as GRW, cannot be made fully invariant.Comment: We sharpen our theorem by replacing axiom FIN by a weaker axiom MIN to answer the above authors' objection

    Enumeration of self avoiding trails on a square lattice using a transfer matrix technique

    Full text link
    We describe a new algebraic technique, utilising transfer matrices, for enumerating self-avoiding lattice trails on the square lattice. We have enumerated trails to 31 steps, and find increased evidence that trails are in the self-avoiding walk universality class. Assuming that trails behave like Aλnn1132A \lambda ^n n^{11 \over 32}, we find λ=2.72062±0.000006\lambda = 2.72062 \pm 0.000006 and A=1.272±0.002A = 1.272 \pm 0.002.Comment: To be published in J. Phys. A:Math Gen. Pages: 16 Format: RevTe
