Kinetics of Deposition of Oriented Superdisks
We use numerical Monte Carlo simulation to study kinetics of deposition of
oriented superdisks, bounded by the Lame curves of the form
, on regular planar substrate. It was recently shown that
the maximum packing density, as well as jamming density , exhibit
discontinuous derivative at , when the shape changes from convex to
concave form. By careful examination of the late-stage approach to the jamming
limit, we find that the leading term in temporal development is also
nonanalytic at , and offer heuristic excluded-area arguments for this
behavior
Spin dynamics in the generalized ferromagnetic Kondo model for manganites
Dynamical spin susceptibility is calculated for the generalized ferromagnetic
Kondo model which describes itinerant electrons interacting with
localized electrons with antiferromagnetic coupling. The calculations
done in the mean field approximation show that the spin-wave spectrum of the
system in ferromagnetic state has two branches, acoustic and optic ones.
Self-energy corrections to the spectrum are considered and the acoustic
spin-wave damping is evaluated
Dynamic vortex mass in clean Fermi superfluids and superconductors
We calculate the dynamic vortex mass for clean Fermi superfluids including
both s- and d-wave superconductors as a response to a vortex acceleration.
Assuming a finite quasiparticle mean free time, the vortex mass appears to be a
tensor. The diagonal component dominates in the limit of long mean free time
while the off-diagonal mass takes over in the moderately clean regime.Comment: 4 pages, no figures, typeset using RevTe
Negative virial coefficients and the dominance of loose packed diagrams for D-dimensional hard spheres
We study the virial coefficients B_k of hard spheres in D dimensions by means
of Monte-Carlo integration. We find that B_5 is positive in all dimensions but
that B_6 is negative for all D >= 6. For 7<=k<=17 we compute sets of Ree-Hoover
diagrams and find that either for large D or large k the dominant diagrams are
"loose packed". We use these results to study the radius of convergence and the
validity of the many approximations used for the equations of state for hard
spheres.Comment: 26 pages, 69 figures. Some typos corrected. Final version, to appear

Reply to Comment "Invalidity of classes of approximate Hall effect calculations."
We reply to the criticism raised by Ao in his Comment (cond-mat/9801180).
Being unable to properly treat the Hall conductivity in a mixed state of
superconductors, Ao is looking for possible mistakes in microscopic and
phenomenological calculations, as well as in the corresponding experiments. The
errors in his treatment of the problem (cond-mat/9704247) are analized. We
indicate where the approach advocated by him fails to properly account for the
interaction with impurities and other sources of relaxation.Comment: reply to Comment by Ao (cond-mat/9801180) on our paper in PRL, 79,

Charged Current Diffractive Structure Functions
We present our study of the diffraction in charged current DIS. We analyse
the perturbatively tractable excitation of heavy quarks, emphasizing the
peculiarities of the Regge factorization breaking in excitation of open charm.Comment: Proceeding of LISHEP98 workshop on diffractive physic
Monte Carlo methods for the valuation of multiple exercise options
We discuss Monte Carlo methods for valuing options with multiple exercise features in discrete time. By extending the recently developed duality ideas for American option pricing we show how to obtain estimates on the prices of such options using Monte Carlo techniques. We prove convergence of our approach and estimate the error. The methods are applied to options in the energy and interest rate derivative markets
