On a previously unpublished work with Ralph Kenna

Abstract

This is part of an unpublished work in collaboration with Ralph Kenna. It was probably not mature enough at the time it was submitted more than ten years ago and it was rejected by the editors, but some of the ideas had later been published partially in subsequent works. I believe that this “draft” reveals a lot about Ralph’s enthusiasm and audacity and deserves to be published now, maybe as a part of his legacy.
