Correcting Things as Correcting Feelings: A Phenomenological Study of Wang Yang-ming’s Doctrine of Ge-Wu

This article is designed to offer a phenomenological reading of Wang Yang-ming’s (王陽明) doctrine of ge-wu (格物), which, as a part of Wang radical reading of The Great Learning (Da-Xue 大學), distinguishes his doctrine from that of Zhu Xi (朱熹). Wang argues that ge-wu, as rectifying things, is the same process with the act of cheng-yi (誠意), in which yi (意) and wu (物) form a relation of intentionality in Edmund Husserl’s sense. Since for Wang, what can be made sincere are emotional yi such as liking and disliking, Husserl\u27s phenomenology on emotional intentionality will be used in this article. The emotional intentionality is the unity of emotional noeses and valued noemata. For Wang, ge-wu is to change a wu improperly valued into a proper one, which is the same process of rectifying an immoral yi into a moral one

Comment on ``Periodic wave functions and number of extended states in random dimer systems'

There are no periodic wave-functions in the RDM but close to the critical energies there exist periodic envelopes. These envelopes are given by the non-disordered properties of the system.Comment: RevTex file, 1 page, Comment X. Huang, X. Wu and C. Gong, Phys. Rev. B 55, 11018 (1997

Perturbing the spectrum of operator Tnd(A)T_n^d(A)

Let $T_n^d(A)$ denote a partial upper triangular operator matrix whose diagonal entries are given and the others unknown. In this article we have aim to find characterizations of (left,right) invertibility of $T_n^d(A)$ in terms of diagonal entries solely, and hence we provide statements which generalize and correct results of Zhang S., Wu Z. (2012). We pose our results without invoking separability condition, thus improving results of Zhang S., Wu Z. (2012), and we give appropriate n-dimensional analogues without assuming separability as well. We recover many perturbation results of Djordjevi\'c D. S. (2002), and obtain some results of Du H. K., Pan J. (1994) and Han J. K., Lee H. Y., Lee W. Y. (2000) in the case of the Hilbert space setting

Generalized reduction criterion for separability of quantum states

A new necessary separability criterion that relates the structures of the total density matrix and its reductions is given. The method used is based on the realignment method [K. Chen and L.A. Wu, Quant. Inf. Comput. 3, 193 (2003)]. The new separability criterion naturally generalizes the reduction separability criterion introduced independently in previous work of [M. Horodecki and P. Horodecki, Phys. Rev. A 59, 4206 (1999)] and [N.J. Cerf, C. Adami and R.M. Gingrich, Phys. Rev. A 60, 898 (1999)]. In special cases, it recovers the previous reduction criterion and the recent generalized partial transposition criterion [K. Chen and L.A. Wu, Phys. Lett. A 306, 14 (2002)]. The criterion involves only simple matrix manipulations and can therefore be easily applied.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figure
