When must Should Be Chosen
This paper describes ongoing work on the choice of modal expressions in the generation of recommendations about courses of study within the B.A.-program of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. We focus our work on the German modal verbs müssen (must), können (can), the subjunctive form sollte (should), and dürfen (may). The idea is to combine insights from formal semantics into the meaning of modal ver...
متن کاملWhen an Action is an Intentional Omission
I use the normative theory of intentional omissions to argue that ordinary uses of ‘ s intentionally’ are systematically ambiguous. There are occasions where they might be used to attribute intentional omissions rather than intentional actions. One can thus explain a number of puzzles that have been taken to be puzzles about the concept of intentional action: the Knobe effect, the connection ...
متن کاملWhen a local Hamiltonian must be frustration-free.
A broad range of quantum optimization problems can be phrased as the question of whether a specific system has a ground state at zero energy, i.e., whether its Hamiltonian is frustration-free. Frustration-free Hamiltonians, in turn, play a central role for constructing and understanding new phases of matter in quantum many-body physics. Unfortunately, determining whether this is the case is kno...
متن کاملHow complicated must an optical component be?
We analyze how complicated a linear optical component has to be if it is to perform one of a range of functions. Specifically, we devise an approach to evaluating the number of real parameters that must be specified in the device design or fabrication, based on the singular value decomposition of the linear operator that describes the device. This approach can be used for essentially any linear...
متن کاملThere Must be an Acetogen Somewhere
In the beginning of 1983, when I was a post-doctoral student at the University of Illinois, Ralph Wolfe handed me an offprint of a long article and said: “Read this!” That paper was the review by Thauer et al. (1977) on “Energy conservation in chemotrophic anaerobic bacteria.” I have read it many times. I remember that the first and second time I understood very little. During the third and fou...
