At the turn of the twentieth century, the modern epistemological framework of science superseded indigenous Chinese knowledge categories as the organizing unit for empirical knowledge about space. By the 1920s, pioneering Chinese intellectuals housed spatial knowledge under the new category of modern geography. While this framework for modern knowledge was rooted in the West, Chinese scholars innovated the discipline in ways that enabled them to consistently attend to fluctuating nation-building imperatives. Using autobiography, memoir, and periodicals produced by early Chinese geographers, this study explores how the intellectual shift toward spatial epistemological modernity facilitated modern China's entrance into the global nation-state system. Modern geographic knowledge ushered in new geopolitical claims and notions of citizenship that would define the new Chinese nation and its position in the world until today. / 2016-10-17

設T為一於二維環面T²上，特徵值為整數的線性自同態，而D為一T²的Markov分割。那麼每一個D上定義的符號空間有限型子轉移則對應一個T²的T -不變緊子集K。判斷K的 Hausdor和Minkowski維數何時相等是一有趣問題。Kenyon and Peres [15]說明了此問題與(K, T )的測度熵及拓撲熵關係密切。這篇論文將進一步說明兩種維數的相等與符號動力系統及矩陣乘積的漸近性態的密切關係。此外我們描述一種算法以判斷兩個譜半徑為1的本原矩陣的任意乘積的譜半徑何時維持1，以及此算法對於研究sofic自仿集K的應用。 / Let T be a linear endomorphism on the 2-torus T² with integer eigenvalues, and D be a natural Markov partition (c.f. Bowen [4]) of T² . Then a subshift of nite type over D corresponds to a T-invariant compact subset K of T². An interesting problem is to determine when the Hausdorff and Minkowski dimensions of K conincide. Kenyon and Peres [15] showed that this is closely related to the measure-theoretic and topological entropies of (K, T). In this thesis, we further show that the coincidence of dimensions has a deep connection to symbolic dynamics and the asymptotic behaviour of matrix products. Moreover, we develop an algorithm to determine when the spectral radii of arbitrary products of two primitive matrices, with spectral radius 1, are preserved, and apply this algorithm to some sofic self-affine sets considered above. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Lo, Chiu Hong. / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 55-56). / Abstracts also in Chinese. / Chapter 1 --- Introduction and Main Results --- p.6 / Chapter 2 --- Preliminaries --- p.12 / Chapter 2.1 --- Basic symbolic dynamics --- p.12 / Chapter 2.2 --- The symbolic representations --- p.13 / Chapter 2.3 --- An adapted covering of the invariant set KT (A) --- p.17 / Chapter 2.4 --- Some basic lemmas and theorems --- p.18 / Chapter 3 --- Proofs of Proposition 1.2 and Theorem 1.3 --- p.22 / Chapter 3.1 --- Proof of Proposition 1.2 --- p.22 / Chapter 3.2 --- Proof of Theorem 1.3 --- p.24 / Chapter 4 --- Projection of measure of maximal entropy for sub-shifts of finite type --- p.26 / Chapter 4.1 --- Projection of the Parry measure via a general factor map --- p.26 / Chapter 4.2 --- Proof of Theorem 1.4 --- p.36 / Chapter 5 --- Spectral radii of products of primitive matrices --- p.38 / Chapter 5.1 --- The algorithm --- p.40 / Chapter 5.2 --- Some applications and examples --- p.51 / Bibliography --- p.55

透過使用調和映射的Bochner技巧, Siu[15, 16]證明了對於複維數≥2 時不可約對稱域緊致商空間的複結構的強剛定理. 其後在[9]中, Mok 證明了在任何秩≥2 的不可約對稱域緊致商空間上, 所有具備非正全純雙截曲率的Hermitian 度量必然和典範度量相差一個常數因子. 由這個定理和Siu 的定理可以得出Mostow 剛性定理[14]在特殊情形下的推廣.本論文會對Mok的結果作出研究. / By using Bochner technique of harmonic maps, Siu[15, 16] proved a strong rigidity theorem concerning the complex structure of compact quotients of irreducible bounded symmetric domain of complex dimension≥ 2. Later in [9], Mok proved a metric rigidity theorem which asserts that any Hermitian metric of seminegative holomorphic bisectional curvature on a compact quotient of an irreducible bounded symmetric domain of rank≥ 2 is necessarily a constant multiple of the canonical metric. This theorem together with the theorem of Siu yields a generalization of a special case of Mostow's rigidity theorem[14]. This thesis is an exposition of Mok's results. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Li, Ka Fai. / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 102-104). / Abstracts also in Chinese. / Chapter 1 --- Introduction --- p.1 / Chapter 2 --- Symmetric Space --- p.5 / Chapter 2.1 --- Riemannian Symmetric Spaces --- p.5 / Chapter 2.2 --- Lie Groups and Lie Algebras --- p.10 / Chapter 2.3 --- Riemannian Symmetric Spaces of Compact and Non-compact type --- p.11 / Chapter 2.4 --- Hermitian Symmetric Spaces --- p.16 / Chapter 2.5 --- Duality --- p.19 / Chapter 3 --- Some Embedding Theorems --- p.22 / Chapter 3.1 --- The Borel Embedding Theorem --- p.22 / Chapter 3.2 --- Root Space Decomposition and Root System --- p.24 / Chapter 3.3 --- The Polydisc Theorem --- p.28 / Chapter 3.4 --- The Harish-Chandra Embedding Theorem --- p.36 / Chapter 4 --- Bounded Symmetric Domains --- p.42 / Chapter 4.1 --- Classical Bounded Symmetric Domains --- p.42 / Chapter 4.2 --- The Bergman metric --- p.57 / Chapter 5 --- Projective and Characteristic Bundle --- p.65 / Chapter 5.1 --- Projectivization of Hermitian Vector Bundle --- p.65 / Chapter 5.2 --- Characteristic bundle --- p.69 / Chapter 6 --- The Hermitian Metric Rigidity Theorem --- p.83 / Chapter 7 --- Appendix --- p.100 / Bibliography --- p.102

In this thesis we introduce and study the (i) Grassmannian, (ii) Lagrangian Grassmannian, and (iii) double Lagrangian Grassmannian of subspaces in ( A ⊗ B )n, where A and B are normed division algebras, i.e. R,C,H or O . / This gives a simple and uniform description of all symmetric spaces. This is analogous to Tits magic square description for simple Lie algebras. / We show that every irreducible compact Riemannian symmetric space X must be one of these Grassmannian spaces (up to a finite cover) or a compact simple Lie group. Furthermore, its noncompact dual symmetric space is the open sub-manifold of X consisting of spacelike linear subspaces, at least in the classical cases. / Huang, Yongdong. / "July 2007." / Adviser: Naichung Conan Leung. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 69-01, Section: B, page: 0353. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2007. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 64-65). / Electronic reproduction.
