We derive and investigate the S-matrix for the su(2|3) dynamic spin chain and for planar N = 4 super Yang-Mills. Due to the large amount of residual symmetry in the excitation picture, the S-matrix turns out to be fully constrained up to an overall phase. We carry on by diago-nalising it and obtain Bethe equations for periodic states. This proves an earlier proposal for the asymptotic Bethe equ...

A signed graph (or sigraph in short) is an ordered pair S = (Su, σ), where Su is a graph G = (V,E), called the underlying graph of S and σ : E → {+,−} is a function from the edge set E of Su into the set {+,−}, called the signature of S. The ×-line sigraph of S denoted by L×(S) is a sigraph defined on the line graph L(S u) of the graph Su by assigning to each edge ef of L(Su), the product of si...

We show that the prediction for αs(MZ) in flipped SU(5) is naturally lower than in minimal SU(5), and that the former can accommodate the full range of αs(MZ) presently allowed by experiment. Our computations include two-loop (δ2loop) and light (δlight) and heavy (δheavy) threshold effects. Unlike minimal SU(5), in flipped SU(5) the heavy threshold effects can naturally decrease the predicted v...

VEGF inhibition can promote renal vascular and parenchymal injury, causing proteinuria, hypertension and thrombotic microangiopathy. The mechanisms underlying these side effects are unclear. We investigated the renal effects of the administration, during 45 days, of sunitinib (Su), a VEGF receptor inhibitor, to rats with 5/6 renal ablation (Nx). Adult male Munich-Wistar rats were distributed am...

RNA-binding proteins act at various stages of gene expression to regulate and fine-tune patterns of mRNA accumulation. One protein in this class is Drosophila Su(s), a nuclear protein that has been previously shown to inhibit the accumulation of mutant transcripts by an unknown mechanism. Here, we have identified several additional RNAs that are downregulated by Su(s). These Su(s) targets inclu...

The Drosophila melanogaster su(s) gene product negatively regulates the expression of mutant alleles with transposon insertions in the 5'-transcribed region by an unknown mechanism. We have investigated here su(s) function through in vivo structure-function analysis, heterologous reporter gene assays, and in vivo transcriptional induction experiments. We have shown that mutations of two arginin...

Eukaryotic chromosomes terminate in telomeres, complex nucleoprotein structures that are required for chromosome integrity that are implicated in cellular senescence and cancer. The chromatin at the telomere is unique with characteristics of both heterochromatin and euchromatin. The end of the chromosome is capped by a structure that protects the end and is required for maintaining proper chrom...

Using fibre bundle theory we construct the universal covering group of U(n), Ũ(n), and show that Ũ(n) is isomorphic to the semidirect product SU(n)©s R. We give a bijection between the set of projective representations of U(n) and the set of equivalence classes of certain unitary representations of SU(n) ©s R. Applying Bargmann’s theorem, we give explicit expressions for the liftings of project...

Type I string theory can be dimensionally reduced on group manifolds. The compactification on S × S leads to the N=4 gauged SU(2)×SU(2) supergravity in four dimensions, which admits the BPS monopole type nonAbelian vacuum. The reduction on S × AdS3 gives the Euclidean N=4 gauged SU(2)×SU(1,1) supergravity admitting a globally regular supersymmetric non-Abelian background. The latter can be anal...
