Comments on a paper by B.Schulz about Bell's inequalities

Schulz claims to have constructed an actively local stochastic theory which violates Bell's inequality. This is false

Deviations of Fischer-Tropsch products from an Anderson-Schulz-Flory distribution

Negative deviations from an Anderson-Schulz-Flory distribution have been observed for the product of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The catalyst was a complex-derived iron-calcium catalyst promoted with cesium sulphate, therefore, neither carrier acidity nor shape selectivity can explain the deviations. This is the first time that chemical modifications of the catalyst are observed to result in negative ASF deviations

Spin-liquid model of the sharp resistivity drop in La1.85Ba0.125CuO4La_{1.85}Ba_{0.125}CuO_4

We use the phenomenological model proposed in our previous paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 98}, 237001 (2007)] to analyse the magnetic field dependence of the onset temperature for two-dimensional fluctuating superconductivity $T^{**} (H)$. We demonstrate that the slope of $T^{**} (H)$ progressively goes down as $H$ increases, such that the upper critical field progressively increases as $T$ decreases. The quantitative agreement with the recent measurements of $T^{**} (H)$ in $La_{1.85}Ba_{0.125}CuO_4$ is achieved for the same parameter value as was derived in our previous publication from the analysis of the electron self energy.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure

On the metal-insulator transition in the two-chain model of correlated fermions

The doping-induced metal-insulator transition in two-chain systems of correlated fermions is studied using a solvable limit of the t-J model and the fact that various strong- and weak-coupling limits of the two-chain model are in the same phase, i.e. have the same low-energy properties. It is shown that the Luttinger-liquid parameter K_\rho takes the universal value unity as the insulating state (half-filling) is approached, implying dominant d-type superconducting fluctuations, independently of the interaction strength. The crossover to insulating behavior of correlations as the transition is approached is discussed.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figur
