description: We consider the question of vacuum alignment in the recently proposed "composite technicolor" (CTC) models. In order for these models to work, an "ultrafermion" condensate must align in a particular way, driven by the competition between ultrafermion masses and "flavor" gauge boson exchange. We show that for ultrafermion masses large enough to explain the top quark mass, order-of-magnitude estimates are sufficient to establish that the required vacuum alignment cannot occur for perturbative values of the flavor gauge couplings. If the top quark gets its mass from some other mechanism, a detailed calculation is required. Using spectral function sum rules and a vector-meson saturation approximation which is known to work well in QCD, we determine the correct vacuum for this case in a limit where the flavor gauge bosons are weakly coupled and the number of ultracolors $N$ is large. We again find that the vacuum required by CTC models does not occur for perturbative values of the flavor gauge couplings. We conclude that there is no evidence that the vacuum aligns as required in CTC models.

description: We study local stability of the advection-dominated optically thick (slim) and optically thin discs with purely toroidal magnetic field and the radial viscous force using a linear perturbation analysis. Our dispersion relation indicates that the presence of magnetic fields and radial viscous force cannot give rise to any new mode of the instability. We find, however, that growth rate of the thermal mode in the slim discs and that of the acoustic modes in the slim and optically thin discs are dramatically affected by the radial viscous force. This force tends to strongly decrease the growth rate of the outward-propagating acoustic mode (O-mode) at the short-wavelength limit, but it causes a slim disc to become thermally more unstable. We find that growth rate of the thermal mode increases in the presence of radial viscous force. This enhancement is more significant when the viscosity parameter is large. We also show that growth rate of the O-mode reduces when radial viscous force is considered. The growth rates of the thermal and acoustic modes depend on the magnetic field. Although the instability of O-mode for a stronger magnetic field case has a higher growth rate, the thermal mode of the slim discs can be suppressed when the magnetic field is strong. The inertial-acoustic instability of a magnetized disc may explain the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) from the black holes.

Going Public and Listing of Life Insurance Companies on Stock Markets and Profit Sharing in Korea: A Legal Study
Creators: name: Park, Semin
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2000

description: Throughout the 1990’s, the Korean economy has experienced full- swing deregulation, market opening, and globalization. Life insurance companies in Korea have been struggling for survival in this era of unlimited competition; in the wake of the financial crisis that hit the nation at the end of 1997, these companies have witnessed the fall of several uncompetitive rivals during the government-led restructuring of the nation’s major industries. Recently, the listing of life insurance companies on the Korean stock market has become the center of the debates across the nation. This debate started when Lee Kun-hee, the Chairman of the Samsung Group, offered to sell 4 million shares of Samsung Life Insurance Company in an effort to bear a part of the enormous debt owed by the startup Samsung Motors, one of its affiliated companies. Lee was under pressure to hold him responsible for the debt due to Samsung Group’s glaringly inefficient investment in Samsung Motors. During the period of IMF control of the Korean economic system, Samsung and Daewoo, two of the leading Korean conglomerates, had attempted a so-called “big-deal” swap of Samsung Motor Company and Daewoo Electronics as a part of the government-led restructuring of the nation’s chaebol (conglomerates), but had gotten nowhere. With his back to the wall, Lee decided to offer his own stock holdings for sale. This move began the debate over various points concerning the listing of Samsung Life Insurance as well as Kyobo Life insurance, which also expressed its intention to go public.

description: This deliverable describes the technical challenge in the selection of the aluminium alloy, the DED-LB/P system and characteristics as well as the development of suitable process parameters and manufacturing strategies for reinforcement structures on thin metal sheets. Various factors influence the choices taken such as the availability of aluminium alloy powder in the market, thickness of the substrate material on top of which the reinforcement structures are deposited and maximum allowable thermal deformations.

The deliverable also highlights the common challenges of processing aluminium alloys with lasers, with a focus on both material quality assurance as well as obtainable geometrical accuracy of the manufactured parts. Several sensors-based solutions and feedforward- and feedback-controlling strategies are proposed in this deliverable to attenuate in the future the identified challenges and to increase the TRL of the technology to reach a system that can be used for series production in an industrial environment.

description: We employ the thermal optimal path method to explore both the long-term and short-term interaction patterns between the onshore CNY and offshore CNH exchange rates (2012-2015). For the daily data, the CNY and CNH exchange rates show a weak alternate lead-lag structure in most of the time periods. When CNY and CNH display a large disparity, the lead-lag relationship is uncertain and depends on the prevailing market factors. The minute-scale interaction pattern between the CNY and CNH exchange rates change over time according to different market situations. We find that US dollar appreciation is associated with a lead-lag relationship running from offshore to onshore, while a (contrarian) Renminbi appreciation is associated with a lead-lag relationship running from onshore to offshore. These results are robust with respect to different sub-sample analyses and variations of the key smoothing parameter of the TOP method.
Field Theory Without Feynman Diagrams: One-Loop Effective Actions

description: In this paper the connection between standard perturbation theory techniques and the new Bern-Kosower calculational rules for gauge theory is clarified. For one-loop effective actions of scalars, Dirac spinors, and vector bosons in a background gauge field, Bern-Kosower-type rules are derived without the use of either string theory or Feynman diagrams. The effective action is written as a one-dimensional path integral, which can be calculated to any order in the gauge coupling; evaluation leads to Feynman parameter integrals directly, bypassing the usual algebra required from Feynman diagrams, and leading to compact and organized expressions. This formalism is valid off-shell, is explicitly gauge invariant, and can be extended to a number of other field theories.

description: We study the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) in the context of critical transitions modelled by fast-slow stochastic dynamical systems. We establish a new link between the dynamical theory of critical transitions with the statistical aspects of the MMD. In particular, we show that a formal approximation of the MMD near fast subsystem bifurcation points can be computed to leading-order. In particular, this leading order approximation shows that the MMD depends intricately on the fast-slow systems parameters and one can only expect to extract warning signs under rather stringent conditions. However, the MMD turns out to be an excellent binary classifier to detect the change point induced by the critical transition. We cross-validate our results by numerical simulations for a van der Pol-type model.

multiscale modeling

description: Simulationen weicher Materie umfassen ein breites Spektrum von Anwendungen, wie z. B. die Modellierung von Biomolekülen, Polymeren und Materialien für die organische Elektronik. Um die Längen- und Zeitskalen relevanter Phänomene zu erreichen, werden die Wechselwirkungen in diesen Systemen üblicherweise durch recheneffiziente analytische Kraftfelder berechnet. Ein Teil dieser Arbeit beschreibt eine Beispielanwendung für die kraftfeldbasierte Modellierung von amorphen organischen Halbleitern. Der konventionelle Kraftfeldansatz führt jedoch Parameter ein, die aus für das betrachtete Molekül geeigneten Parametersätzen zugewiesen werden müssen. Vor allem aufgrund der einfachen Funktionsausdrücke für die nicht-kovalenten Wechselwirkungen erfordert das Verfahren zur Bestimmung dieser Parametersätze empirische Zielwerte, die nicht immer verfügbar sind. Bottom-up-Ansätze, wie z. B. Bottom-up-Kraftfelder mit festen Funktionsausdrücken oder Potentiale basierend auf neuronalen Netzen, zielen darauf ab, die experimentellen Daten durch Ergebnisse aus ab initio Rechnungen zu ersetzen. Für die Anwendung in umfangreichen Molekulardynamiksimulationen weisen diese Methoden noch offene Herausforderungen auf. Feste Funktionsausdrücke leiden unter einer begrenzten Flexibilität, die ab initio Potentialenergieoberfläche zu reproduzieren und erfordern manuelle Typdefinitionen, um die Anzahl der Parameter zu reduzieren. Potentiale, die auf neuronalen Netzen basieren, verbessern beide Aspekte, aber ihre hohen Rechenanforderungen begrenzen die zugänglichen Längen- und Zeitskalen. In dieser Arbeit wird ein neuartiger Bottom-up-Ansatz zur Modellierung nicht-kovalenter Wechselwirkungen vorgestellt, der für großskalige Simulationen konzipiert ist. Das Konzept effizienter additiver Wechselwirkungen wird mit der Flexibilität künstlicher neuronaler Netze für die Interpolation verschiedener chemischer Zusammensetzungen und geometrischer Anordnungen kombiniert. Die Anwendung des Modells wird in Molekulardynamiksimulationen demonstriert, und der Vergleich der berechneten thermodynamischen Eigenschaften mehrerer kleiner organischer Moleküle mit experimentellen Daten und konventionellen Kraftfeldern zeigt eine vielversprechende Vorhersageleistung. Zusätzlich bewahrt das Modell die Energiezerlegung in physikalisch motivierte Komponenten, die von der symmetrieangepassten Störungstheorie, die für die ab initio Referenzrechnungen verwendet wird, bereitgestellt wird. Diese Trennbarkeit und die Unabhängigkeit von empirischen Daten machen dieses Modell potenziell nützlich für zukünftige Materialdesign-Anwendungen.
The Burgeoning Securities Investment Fund Industry in China: Its Development and Regulation

description: The first investment fund in China was born in 1991. Despite this late start, China’s investment funds have grown rapidly, and their number and size are expected to expand greatly in the coming years. The funds have developed in two stages demarcated by the national regulation promulgated in 1997. Before that time, funds were at the stage of self-development. A total of 75 funds and 47 fund-like certificates had been launched with the accumulated capital of more than Renminbi (“RMB”) 7 billion yuan (approximately US $1 = RMB 8.3 yuan as of September 1999). These funds are often referred to as “old funds,” as opposed to the new funds established after the national regulation. The old funds introduced the concept of the investment fund into China and led the Chinese to realize their potential as instruments for investment. The small size of the old funds, however, made them unable to play a significant role in China’s securities market. Their erratic management and poor risk control also highlighted the necessity of official regulation. The Provisional Measures for the Administration of Securities Investment Funds (“Provisional Measures’), promulgated in November 1997, are the first national regulation governing the domestic fund industry. Under the Provisional Measures, China’s funds began a new era of development, and 14 new funds had been set up with a total capital of RMB 32 billion yuan by the end of July 1999.

Judicial Independence in Japan: A Re-Investigation for China
Creators: name: Lin, Laifan
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 1999

description: In their discussions concerning judicial independence, many jurists have formulated far-reaching and complex versions of legal culture. From a comparative approach, in the political-legal tradition of many European countries, the notion of state judicial power involved in the settlement of criminal cases and even civilian disputes as a neutral party is quite acceptable. However, as will be discussed, in the history of Asian countries such as China and Japan, judicial power and administrative power have long been one integrated mass, and thus, it is difficult to establish an independent image of judicial power, which may be the situation in China today. The principle of judicial independence that originated in the West was put into effect with the establishment of the modem idea of “separation of powers.” Nonetheless, countries such as China and Japan face a long and winding process to establish judicial independence in their countries. If legal cultures are inevitably linked, phenomena in the abovementioned legal culture will indeed corroborate a regular pattern of development of legal culture. However, this concept must surmount the notion of a kind of determinism. Since the early 19th century, with the impact of western legal culture, Asian countries such as Japan and China have gradually realized that judicial independence is not only a premise of “fair jurisdiction,” but also a basic condition indispensable for the establishment and development of the rule of law. These countries have self-consciously started to absorb the concept and principles of judicial independence and made various attempts to establish relevant systems. While China and Japan are both “eastern” countries, they have experienced quite different outcomes due to the differences in the two societies and their respective historical conditions. Japan has basically accomplished the historical task of setting up the foundations for judicial independence. On the other hand, China still suffers various obstacles in the process of accomplishing this historical task, and faces various problems.

description: We investigate the properties of hybrid stars consisting of quark matter in the core and hadron matter in outer region. The hadronic and quark matter equations of state are calculated by using nonlinear Walecka model and chiral colour dielectric (CCD) model respectively. We find that the phase transition from hadron to quark matter is possible in a narrow range of the parameters of nonlinear Walecka and CCD models. The transition is strong or weak first order depending on the parameters used. The EOS thus obtained, is used to study the properties of hybrid stars. We find that the calculated hybrid star properties are similar to those of pure neutron stars.

Impact of young stellar components on quiescent galaxies: deconstructing cosmic chronometers

description: Cosmic chronometers may be used to measure the age difference between passively evolving galaxy populations to calculate the Hubble parameter H(z). The age estimator emerges from the relationship between the amplitude of the rest frame Balmer break at 4000 angstroms and the age of a galaxy, assuming that there is one single stellar population within each galaxy. However, recent literature has shown possible contamination (up to 2.4% of the stellar mass in a high redshift sample) of a young component embedded within the predominantly old population of the quiescent galaxy. We compared the data with the predictions of each model, using a new approach of distinguishing between systematic and statistical errors (in previous works, these had incorrectly been added in quadrature) and evaluating the effects of contamination by a young stellar component. The ages inferred using cosmic chronometers represent a galaxy-wide average rather than a characteristic of the oldest population alone. The average contribution from the young component to the rest luminosity at 4000 angstroms may constitute a third of the luminosity in some samples, which means that this is far from negligible. This ratio is significantly dependent on stellar mass, proportional to M^{-0.7}. Consequently, the measurements of the absolute value of the age or the differential age between different redshifts are incorrect and make the previous calculations of H(z) very inaccurate. Some cosmological models, such as the Einstein-de Sitter model or quasi-steady state cosmology, which are rejected under the assumption of a purely old population, can be made compatible with the predicted ages of the Universe as a function of redshift if we take this contamination into account. However, the static Universe models are rejected by these H(z) measurements, even when this contamination is taken into account.

description: A unified theory of all forces should be nonsingular. In such a unified theory, Einstein's general relativity will be a very low curvature effective theory. At larger curvatures, new terms will become important. The question then arises as to whether it is possible to construct an effective action for gravity which leads to a nonsingular theory. In this work, we construct an effective action for gravity in which all homogenerous and isotropic solutions are nonsingular. In particular, there is neither a big bang nor a big crunch. Preliminary work indicates that our construction provides a theory in which anisotropies decrease at large curvatures, and in which the inside of a black hole is singularity free.

description: In this paper we solve for the quantum propagator of a general time dependent system quadratic in both position and momentum, linearly coupled to an infinite bath of harmonic oscillators. We work in the regime where the quantum optical master equation is valid. We map this master equation to a Schroedinger equation on Super-Hilbert space and utilize Lie Algebraic techniques to solve for the dynamics in this space. We then map back to the original Hilbert space to obtain the solution of the quantum dynamics. The Lie Algebraic techniques used are preferable to the standard Wei-Norman methods in that only coupled systems of first order ordinary differential equations and purely algebraic equations need only be solved. We look at two examples.

Employee’s Property Rights in China’s State-Owned Enterprise Reorganization
Creators: name: Rong, Tao
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 1999

description: Deteriorating performance by Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) has drained the Government’s financial resources and undermined the economy. Therefore, in the early 1990s, the Chinese government decided to reorganize SOEs in order to promote their efficiency. The first step was to lay off redundant employees to improve the allocation of capital and labor in SOEs.1 The present unemployment law and policies were designed to support massive reallocation of labor and capital in the state-owned economy. At the 15th Chinese Communist Party Congress of August 1997, top leaders formally announced their commitment to intensify massive worker lay-offs from SOEs. Most of these SOEs were to be sold, leased or changed to joint ventures while getting rid of redundant employees. Although tremendous numbers of workers were laid off, SOE managers still complain about the heavy burden of lay-off benefits preventing them recovering from their difficult financial conditions. Creditors of SOEs are extremely worried about large SOE bankruptcy liquidation due to the large amount of workers’ wage arrears and labor reallocation costs that must be paid first and fully before creditors’ conferences. On the other hand, many workers fall into immediate poverty after their discharge. Worker protest actions, claiming property rights from the communist state (that is owned by the working class under the Constitution and Chinese socialist doctrines), are even reported by Chinese domestic media. This Article argues that current Chinese labor law based on socialist economic doctrines, and the property claims to which it gives rise, improperly compensate laid-off SOE workers, thus frustrating the development of a free labor market in China. The first section of this paper elaborates the Chinese socialist labor theories of the employment relationship in SOEs. Section II introduces the Chinese SOEs’ contract employment relationship, which binds together the government, the enterprise, and workers. Section III, explores Chinese SOE workers’ property claims arising under Chinese socialist labor theories, while section IV analyzes the law of SOE employees’ property claims in SOE reorganization. The last section suggests some possible solutions based on studies of market economy and United States employment law.

description: We examine the one loop contributions arising in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (THDM) to the W-boson anomalous magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole form factors for both photon and Z couplings relevant at collider energies. While the model parameter and $q^2$-dependencies of these form factors are found to be significant, the corresponding size of these corrections are relatively small in comparison to unity. They are, however, found to be comparable in magnitude to the usual Standard Model loop corrections. Radiative corrections to the Higgs particle masses and couplings due to heavy top-quarks are included in the analysis.

description: At a normal-metal/superconductor interface, an incident electron from the normal-metal (N) side can be normally reflected as an electron or Andreev reflected as a hole. We show that pronounced lateral shifts along the interface between the incident and the reflected quasiparticles can happen in both reflection processes, which are analogous to the Goos-Hänchen effect in optics. Two concrete model systems are considered. For the simplest model in which the N side is of the two-dimensional electron gas, we find that while the shift in Andreev reflection stays positive, the shift in normal reflection can be made either positive or negative, depending on the excitation energy. For the second model with the N side taken by graphene, the shift in Andreev reflection can also be made negative, and the shifts have rich behavior due to the additional sublattice pseudospin degree of freedom. We show that the shift strongly modifies the dispersion for the confined waveguide modes in an SNS structure. We also suggest a possible experimental setup for detecting the shift.

description: The impact ofthe Interet on all spheres of life, political, commercial, and social, has been very significant. This impact is still growing at a extraordinary rate and few are game to predict exactly where these developments will lead. This is a rather special sort of communications revolution, however. Unlike television and radio, for example, the Internet combines remarkable changes in mass communication and in person-to- person communications in a single technology, and it does so in ways that are far less expensive (and much faster) than its long standing competitors. It is now clear that modem trade and commerce must increasingly be linked into this system to compete. This truth is even more evident when one considers research and development. For a country like China, which regards modernization as a near absolute fundamental value, the allure of the Internet is immense. But China is also still the largest One Party State, by far, that the world has ever seen. Although Marxism, as an economic doctrine, is largely a spent force in China, Leninism is alive and well. It remains the keystone of political structure theory in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). A fundamental tenet of Leninism is the requirement that the state must control the media. The metaphor often used is that the media must be both the “throat and tongue” and “the eyes and ears” of the party.

A Vulnerable Justice: Finality of Civil Judgments in China
Creators: name: Liu, Nanping
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 1999

description: This Article challenges the finality of a civil judgement in the People’s Republic of China, i.e., the so-called system in which a decision by the court of second instance is final (liangshen zhongshen zhi) (the “regular trial system”). There is a widespread conception among legal scholars, judges and lawyers that judicial finality can be obtained in China, because under the regular trial system litigants have only two chances to have their disputes heard by the court. However, the opposite view, once held by this author, is that, from a Western perspective, finality simply does not exist in China. A Chinese court may have endless chances, without any time limit, to decide a case under the Procedure of Trial Supervision (shenpan ]iandu chengxu) (“the Supervision Procedure” or “supervising system”). The analysis this author offers in this Article demonstrates that, contrary to the popular conception in Mainland China or to the view made from a Western perspective, an extreme conclusion either way on the issue of finality is superficial. As a matter of fact, “judicial finality” itself is a complicated or even misleading term under the Chinese legal system. In determining the meaning of finality, one has to take into account the actual operation of the entire Chinese system instead of perceiving it narrowly based on the written law. Most importantly, particular attention should be paid to those factors affecting the implementation of law, such as Chinese legal culture and the political structure. Accordingly, this Article offers two alternative but decisive rules on the finality issue. These rules should be considered when a Chinese civil judgement is to be recognized and enforced in a foreign jurisdiction.

Fundamental Principles of China’s Contract Law
Creators: name: Liming, Wang
name: Chuanxi, Xu
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 1999

description: On March 15, 1999, the Contract Law of the People’s Republic of China1 was adopted by the Second Session of the Ninth National People’s Congress (NPC) and scheduled to take effect on October 1, 1999. The Contract Law’s promulgation constitutes not only a major development of China’s contract law, but also an important step in China’s enactment of its much-awaited Civil Code (minfa dian).2 The Contract Law provides general provisions (entitledzongze in Chapters 1-8 in the Contract Law) for governing all types of contractual relationships,3 as well as particular provisions (entitledfenze in Chapters 9-23) for further regulation of 15 particular categories of contracts, respectively.’ As the statute that deals specifically with contracts, the Contract Law can be expected to play a crucial role in regulating China’s burgeoning market economy and in contributing to China’s further legal development. This Article attempts to discuss some of the fundamental guiding principles of the Contract Law. There are three major principles/policies, namely, those of freedom of contract (hetongziyou), good faith (chengxin), and the fostering of transactions (guli jiaoyi), that have been conscientiously followed by the law’s drafters5 and that have been essentially embodied in the law’s final formulation. By examining major provisions of the Contract Law that embody these three fundamental principles, respectively, we hope to elucidate the main spirit of the Contract Law as well as its general doctrinal structure. For ease of presentation and for want of space, we devote our primary attention to the general provisions (zongze), although particular provisions (fenze) are occasionally touched upon where relevant.

description: Noonan syndrome (NS) is a common autosomal dominant congenital disorder which could cause the congenital cardiopathy and cancer predisposition. Previous studies reported that the knock-in mouse models of the mutant D61G of SHP2 exhibited the major features of NS, which demonstrated that the mutation D61G of SHP2 could cause NS. To explore the effect of D61G mutation on SHP2 and explain the high activity of the mutant, molecular dynamic simulations were performed on wild type (WT) of SHP2 and the mutated SHP2-D61G, respectively. The principal component analysis and dynamic cross-correlation mapping, associated with secondary structure, showed that the D61G mutation affected the motions of two regions (residues Asn 58-Thr 59 and Val 460-His 462) in SHP2 from β to turn. Moreover, the residue interaction networks analysis, the hydrogen bond occupancy analysis and the binding free energies were calculated to gain detailed insight into the influence of the mutant D61G on the two regions, revealing that the major differences between SHP2-WT and SHP2-D61G were the different interactions between Gly 61 and Gly 462, Gly 61 and Ala 461, Gln 506 and Ile 463, Gly 61 and Asn 58, Ile 463 and Thr 466, Gly 462 and Cys 459. Consequently, our findings here may provide knowledge to understand the increased activity of SHP2 caused by the mutant D61G.
Indirect Evidence of Network Effects in a System of Cities
Creators: name: Raimbault, Juste
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We describe a simple spatial model of urban growth for systems of cities at the macroscopic scale, which combines direct interaction between cities and an indirect effect of physical network flows as population growth drivers. The model is parametrized on population data for the French system of cities between 1831 and 1999, which strong non-stationarity in correlation patterns suggest to apply the model on local time windows. The corresponding calibration of the model using genetic algorithms provide the evolution of interaction processes and network effects in time. Furthermore, the fit improvement when adding network module appears effective when controlling for additional parameters, what confirms the ability of the model to unveil network effects in the system of cities.

Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the ultra light pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson appearing in the late time cosmological phase transition theories as a dark matter candidate. Since it is almost massless, its nature is more wave like than particle like. Hence we apply quantum mechanics to study how they form the galactic halos. Three predictions are made; (1)the mass profile $ρ\sim r^{-1.6}$, (2)there are ripple-like fine structures in rotation curve, (3) the rotation velocity times ripple's wave length is largely galaxy independent. We compare the rotation curves predicted by our theory with the data observed.

The Director’s Duty of Care: A Comparative Analysis of Delaware and Singapore Laws
Creators: name: Huan, Julie L.Y.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 1998

description: In a typical corporation, the board of directors is charged with the function of managing the corporation’s business. The power to man age the corporation carries with it a duty to act in the best interest of the corporation. This translates into a duty to exercise care and to remain loyal to the corporation at all times. While the concept of a duty of care is universal, the degree of care expected of a director varies in different jurisdictions. This paper provides a comparative analysis of a director’s duty of care under the laws of the State of Delaware in the United States and the Republic of Singapore. The author first introduces the general principles developed under these two jurisdictions. Thereafter, both Delaware and Singapore laws are applied to fact scenarios taken from three Delaware cases to illustrate similarities and differences in the approaches adopted by the two jurisdictions. Finally, the author provides an overall comparative analysis and some recommendations for improvement to Singapore law.
