Logarithmic Corrections to Scaling in the XY2XY_2--Model

We study the distribution of partition function zeroes for the $XY$--model in two dimensions. In particular we find the scaling behaviour of the end of the distribution of zeroes in the complex external magnetic field plane in the thermodynamic limit (the Yang--Lee edge) and the form for the density of these zeroes. Assuming that finite--size scaling holds, we show that there have to exist logarithmic corrections to the leading scaling behaviour of thermodynamic quantities in this model. These logarithmic corrections are also manifest in the finite--size scaling formulae and we identify them numerically. The method presented here can be used to check the compatibility of scaling behaviour of odd and even thermodynamic functions in other models too.Comment: 3 pages, latex, 2 figure

String and M-theory: answering the critics

Using as a springboard a three-way debate between theoretical physicist Lee Smolin, philosopher of science Nancy Cartwright and myself, I address in layman's terms the issues of why we need a unified theory of the fundamental interactions and why, in my opinion, string and M-theory currently offer the best hope. The focus will be on responding more generally to the various criticisms. I also describe the diverse application of string/M-theory techniques to other branches of physics and mathematics which render the whole enterprise worthwhile whether or not "a theory of everything" is forthcoming.Comment: Update on EPSRC.

Lee-Carter goes risk-neutral: an application to the Italian annuity market

We consider a class of stochastic intensities of mortality that generalizes the model proposed by Lee and Carter (1992), allowing general diffusions to drive the mortality time-trend. We analyze the stability of such class of intensities under measure changes and show how a risk-neutral version of the generalized Lee-Carter model can be employed for fair valuation purposes. We provide an example of model calibration based on the Italian annuity market

The Marble Man: Images Depict Lee, His Friends, And His Legend

Robert E. Lee: An Album tells of Lee\u27s life through images. This book is an album in the literal sense, author Emory M. Thomas explains. It contains pictures, contemporary with Lee and with us, of places associated with Lee. It includes pictures of people Lee knew and pictures of Lee. Here...

Memory and Meaning: Civil Rights in Lee\u27s Backyard

I walked up the long winding path named for Mary Custis and her family home. As I ascended the steps I stopped to quickly pay my respects to Robert Todd Lincoln. But he wasn\u27t my quarry for the day. As I came to the top of the steps, Robert E. Lee\u27s home hove into view. I\u27ve been inside Lee\u27s house a few times. Each time has been interesting, but relatively hollow. Those four walls lack the raw power that the surrounding acres seem to ooze. [excerpt
