Al’tshuler-Aronov correction to the conductivity of a large metallic square network

Christophe Texier 1, Gilles Montambaux 2 Physical Review B 76 (2007) 094202 We consider the correction $\Delta\sigma_\mathrm{ee}$ due to electron-electron interaction to the conductivity of a weakly disordered metal (Al’tshuler-Aronov correction). The correction is related to the spectral determinant of the Laplace operator. The case of a large square metallic network is considered. The variation of $\Delta\sigma_\mathrm{ee}(L_T)$ as a

A Toy Model of the Rat Race

D. ben-Avraham 1, Satya N. Majumdar 2, S. Redner 3 Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment (2007) L04002 We introduce a toy model of the ‘rat race’ in which individuals try to better themselves relative to the rest of the population. An individual is characterized by a real-valued fitness and each advances at a constant rate by an amount that
