Area law from loop quantum gravity
No full textWe explore the constraints following from requiring the area law in the entanglement entropy in the context of loop quantum gravity. We find a unique solution to the single-link wave function in the large j limit, believed to be appropriate in the semiclassical limit. We then generalize our considerations to multilink coherent states, and find that the area law is preserved very generically using our single-link wave function as a building block. Finally, we develop the framework that generates families of multilink states that preserve the area law while avoiding macroscopic entanglement, the space-time analogue of "Schrödinger's cat." We note that these states, defined on a given set of graphs, are the ground states of some local Hamiltonian that can be constructed explicitly. This can potentially shed light on the construction of the appropriate Hamiltonian constraints in the LQG framework

Yuan Hung-tao's Theory of Hsing-ling
No full textWhile there have been numerous studies of the Ming poet Yuan Hung-tao 袁宏道, or Yüan Chung-lang 袁中郞, (1568-1610), they have for the most part dealt with particular problems and have failed to give a satisfactory explanation of his theory of hsing-ling 性靈. The purpose of this study is to repair this deficiency. Yüan's object in expounding his hsing-ling theory was to remedy the defects of the archaism of the poets of his age, though at the same time he himself had some sympathy for the "return to antiquity" movement. The reason he did not find these two positions mutually contradictory was that he believed that literature must change with time, and that the excellence of a poem can never be guaranteed by the modernity or antiquity of its diction. Thus he declared that there were many fine works among the poetry of the Sung period, which was condemned by the archaists, and designated Po Chü-i and Su Tung-p'o as his ideals. His theories, known by the name of hsing-ling and widely acclaimed in China at the time, are analyzed in this study, as well as his general view of literature, which sprang from his ideals of freedom and naturalness in life
Documents of Ling-shih Hung (令史弘)
No full textEtsin-gol MSS. (居延漢簡) found at Kharakhoto amount to even ten thousand and mostly are fragmentary. It would be very difficult to put them in order. Here the writer wishes to suggest one approach to this purpose. He has collected as many documents as possible concerning Ling-shih Hung (令史弘). He believes that it is possible to make several reasonable groups of documents by thus centering them in such and such individuals
