Special relativistic gravitational theory

Based on special relativity, we introduce a way to develop a new field theory from (1) the relativistic property of the particle coupling coefficient with the field, and (2) the field due to a static point source. As an example, we discuss a theory of electromagnetic and gravitational fields. The results of this special relativistic gravitational theory for the redshift and the deflection of light are the same as those deduced from general relativity. The results of experiments on the planetary perihelion procession shift and on an additional short-range gravity are more favorable to the special relativistic gravitational theory than to general relativity. We put forward a new idea to test experimentally whether the equivalence principle of general relativity is correct.Plovdiv University Paissii Hilendarskii.Moscow Institute of Railway Transport Engineers.     

Novel scaling behavior of directed polymers: Disorder distribution with long tails

We study the problem of directed polymers (DP) on a square lattice. The distribution of disorder is assumed to be independent but non-Gaussian. We show that for distributions with a power-law tailP() 1/||¹⁺ , where>2, so that the mean and variance are well defined, the scaling exponentv of the DP model depends on in a continuous fashion.
