The present paper examines the Eckhartian motives in Derrida's critique of Levinas' concept of the "Other". The focus is put on the Husserlian concept of alter ego that is at the core of the debate between Levinas and Derrida. Against Levinas, Derrida argues that alter is not an epithet that expresses a mere accidental modification of the ego, but an indicator of radical exteriority. Interestin...

This is the first of a series of three papers in which we present a full rigorous analysis of a class of spin glass models introduces by Derrida under the name of Generalised Random Energy Models (GREM). They are based on Gaussian random processes on the hypercube {−1,1}N with a hierarchical correlation structure. In this first paper we analyse the models with a finite number of hierarchies. In...

The Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrowskii-Piscounov (FKPP) equation with cut-off was introduced in [E. Brunet and B. Derrida, Shift in the velocity of a front due to a cutoff, Phys. Rev. E 56(3), 2597–2604 (1997)] to model N -particle systems in which concentrations less than ε = 1 N are not attainable. It was conjectured that the cut-off function, which sets the reaction terms to zero if the concentrat...

The temperature dependence of the dynamics of the fraction F (t) of persistent spins in the triangular Q-state Potts model is investigatedby large scale Monte Carlo simulations. After extending Derrida's approach of measuring the fraction of spins that remain in one phase to all Q low-temperaturephases, it is shown that the exponent of algebraic decay of F (t) is independent of temperature. In ...

En Clamor (Glas), Derrida se ocupa de una doble columna escritura: Hegel y Genet. Por un lado, la historia, el pensamiento, economía política, ley Estado; por otro, deseo, exclusión, crimen, injusticia incierta santidad. El ejercicio nos obliga a mirar dos colosos, muertos, que no coinciden en su encuentro. este artículo me interesa atravesar tejido Derrida, para confrontar lo aparece los escri...
