Abstract
A scaling hypothesis on finite-size scaling in the presence of a dangerous irrelevant variable is formulated for systems with long-range interaction and general geometryL d−d′×∞d′. A characteristic length which obeys a universal finite-size scaling relation is defined. The general conjectures are based on exact results for the mean spherical model with inverse power law interaction.
