Chen Huanzhang e l'Accademia Confuciana
Il saggio ripercorre la singolare vicenda dell'intellettuale cinese Chen Huanzhang (1880-1933), assertore del carattere religioso del confucianesimo e sostenitore della sua assunzione a religione dello Stato nella Repubblica cinese, nonché fondatore dell'Accademia Confuciana di Hong Kong, che ha trasmesso nel corso di un secolo, fino al presente, la tradizione religiosa confuciana
Program Notes of Tse-Chen Chang's Violin Recital
Abstract
This report is Tse-Chen Chang's violin Program Notes on November, 8, 2022. The two pieces on the program include violin concerto in E minor, Op. 64 by Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847), and Sonata for violin and piano in D minor, Op. 121 by Robert Alexander Schumann (1810-1856). The notes will introduce the lives of the two composers, compositional background of individual work, and the analysis of the design and materials in each work

Programmatic and performance observations for Two Chamber Works by Chen Yi
As a Chinese-American composer who was born and reared in China, then studied and settled in the United States, Chen Yi’s success is widely recognized around the world. However, this success is not coincidental and is closely related to her fusion of the Chinese and Western cultures in her works. At the time of this writing, Chen Yi has composed more than forty chamber works, from which the author researched two with the same instrumentation—flute, clarinet, violin, cello, and piano. By understanding Chen Yi’s life experiences and analyzing the theoretical aspects of these compositions, the author gives suggestions for ensemble, timbre, rhythm, pedaling, and performance techniques in these two chamber works by Chen Yi—Happy Rain on a Spring Night and … as like a raging fire

Critical Two-Point Function for Long-Range Models with Power-Law Couplings: The Marginal Case for d >= d(c)
Consider the long-range models on Z(d) of random walk, self-avoiding walk, percolation and the Ising model, whose translation-invariant 1-step distribution/coupling coefficient decays as |x|(-d-alpha) for some alpha > 0. In the previous work (Chen and Sakai in Ann Probab 43:639-681, 2015), we have shown in a unified fashion for all alpha not equal 2 that, assuming a bound on the "derivative" of the n-step distribution (the compoundzeta distribution satisfies this assumed bound), the critical two-point function G(pc) (x) decays as |x|(alpha boolean AND 2-d) above the upper-critical dimension d(c) = (alpha boolean AND 2)m, where m = 2 for self-avoiding walk and the Ising model and m = 3 for percolation. In this paper, we show in a much simpler way, without assuming a bound on the derivative of the n-step distribution, that G(pc) (x) for the marginal case alpha = 2 decays as |x|(2-d)/ log |x| whenever d >= d(c) (with a large spread-out parameter L). This solves the conjecture in Chen and Sakai (2015), extended all the way down to d = d(c), and confirms a part of predictions in physics (Brezin et al. in J Stat Phys 157:855-868, 2014). The proof is based on the lace expansion and new convolution bounds on power functions with log corrections
A Rosary of Rubies: The Chronicle of the Gur-rigs mDo-chen Tradition from South-Western Tibet
The mDo-chen bKa’-brgyud-pa school represents a little known Buddhist tradition from Mang-yul Gung-thang in south-western Tibet. It goes back to a Buddhist yogin known as Ma-bdun-pa or Ma-bdun ras-chen (12th/13th c.) and was later mainly spread by members of the Gur family. Although belonging to the “Upper ’Brug” (stod ’brug) branch of the ’Brug-pa bKa’-brgyud-pa school, the mDo-chen tradition has always been deeply infused with the “spoken teachings” (bka’ ma) and “treasure teachings” (gter ma) of the rNying-ma-pa school, and the cult of the “Seven Ma-mo Sisters” (ma mo mched bdun) was particularly practised and transmitted by its members. This book presents a critical edition, an annotated translation and a photographic reproduction of a manuscript copy of a rare chronicle of the Gur-rigs mDo-chen tradition written by Brag-dkar rta-so sPrul-sku Chos-kyi dbang-phyug (1775–1837). The text provides us with an overview of the tradition’s development mainly through biographical accounts but also through prophecies, prayers and praises for individual masters. The study concludes with two appendices based on the mDo chen bka’ brgyud gser ’phreng, a lineage history composed in the 15th century, and the “records of teachings received” (thob yig) of three important members of the Gur family, thus allowing us to gain an insight into the transmissions of the mDo-chen bKa’-brgyud-pa school and the interactions of its representatives with other important Buddhist teachers up to the 18th century. The present work is a further outcome of the author’s investigations into the cultural and religious traditions of south-western Tibet and the neighbouring Himalayan valleys
Distribution of Controlled Lyapunov Exponents via the Lai-Chen Algorithm
AbstractThe Lai-Chen algorithm, an extended feedback control scheme of the original Chen- Lai algorithm, was proposed to gradually make an arbitrarily given discrete-time dynamical system chaotic in terms of possessing positive Lyapunov exponents with uniformly bounded orbits. In this paper, based on the Monte Carlo method, we further study the distribution of the controlled Lyapunov exponents generated by the Lai-Chen algorithm
