Replica analysis of a preferential urn model
  We analyse a preferential urn model with randomness using the replica method. The preferential urn model is a stochastic model based on the concept "the rich get richer." The replica analysis clarifies that the preferential urn model with randomness shows a fat-tailed occupation distribution. The analytical treatments and results would be useful for various research fields such as complex networks, stochastic models, and econophysics.
