Geometry, thermodynamics, and finite-size corrections in the critical Potts model
We establish an intriguing connection between geometry and thermodynamics in
the critical q-state Potts model on two-dimensional lattices, using the q-state
bond-correlated percolation model (QBCPM) representation. We find that the
number of clusters of the QBCPM has an energy-like singularity for q different
from 1, which is reached and supported by exact results, numerical simulation,
and scaling arguments. We also establish that the finite-size correction to the
number of bonds, has no constant term and explains the divergence of related
quantities as q --> 4, the multicritical point. Similar analyses are applicable
to a variety of other systems.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figure
Two axiomatizations of the kernel of TU games: bilateral and converse reduced game properties
We provide two axiomatic characterizations of the kernel of TU games by means of both bilateral consistency and converse consistency with respect to two types of two-person reduced games. According to the first type, the worth of any single player in the two-person reduced game is derived from the difference of player's positive (instead of maximum) surpluses. According to the second type, the worth of any single player in the two-person reduced game either coincides with the two-person max reduced game or refers to the constrained equal loss rule applied to an appropriate two-person bankruptcy problem, the claims of which are given by the player's positve surpluses

Transitions to Measure Synchronization in Coupled Hamiltonian Systems
Transitions to measure synchronization in two coupled lattices
are investigated based on numerical simulations. The relationship between
measure synchronization (MS), phase locking and system's total energy is
studied both for periodic and chaotic states. Two different scalings are
discovered during the process to MS according to phase locking. Random walk
like phase synchronization in chaotic measure synchronization is found, and
phase locking interrupted by phase slips irregularly is also investigated.
Meanwhile, related analysis is qualitative given to explain this phenomenon.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure
