Anomalous Charge Transport Properties and Band Flattening in Graphene: A Quasi-Relativistic Tight-Binding Study of Pseudo-Majorana States
Anomalous charge carrier transport in graphene is studied within a topologically nontrivial quasi-relativistic graphene model. The model predicts additional topological contributions, such as the Majorana-like mass-term correction to the ordinary ohmic component of the current, the spin-orbital-coupling, “Zitterbewegung”-effect corrections to conductivity in space, and time dispersion regime. The corrections appear due to non-Abelian quantum statistics for the charge carriers in graphene. The chiral anomaly of electrophysical and optical properties may emerge due to a deconfinement of the pseudo-Majorana quasiparticles. It has been shown that phenomena of negative differential conductivity, loss of universal far-infrared optical conductivity, and nonzero “minimal” direct-current conductivity in graphene occur due to flattening and vorticity of the pseudo-Majorana model graphene energy bands
On the Green function of linear evolution equations for a region with a boundary
We derive a closed-form expression for the Green function of linear evolution
equations with the Dirichlet boundary condition for an arbitrary region, based
on the singular perturbation approach to boundary problems.Comment: 9 page

On one-dimensional Schroedinger problems allowing polynomial solutions
We discuss the explicit construction of the Schroedinger equations admitting
a representation through some family of general polynomials. Almost all
solvable quantum potentials are shown to be generated by this approach.
Some generalization has also been performed in higher-dimensional problems.Comment: 17 page
Similarly Strong Purifying Selection Acts on Human Disease Genes of All Evolutionary Ages
A number of studies have showed that recently created genes differ from the genes created in deep evolutionary past in many aspects. Here, we determined the age of emergence and propensity for gene loss (PGL) of all human protein–coding genes and compared disease genes with non-disease genes in terms of their evolutionary rate, strength of purifying selection, mRNA expression, and genetic redundancy. The older and the less prone to loss, non-disease genes have been evolving 1.5- to 3-fold slower between humans and chimps than young non-disease genes, whereas Mendelian disease genes have been evolving very slowly regardless of their ages and PGL. Complex disease genes showed an intermediate pattern. Disease genes also have higher mRNA expression heterogeneity across multiple tissues than non-disease genes regardless of age and PGL. Young and middle-aged disease genes have fewer similar paralogs as non-disease genes of the same age. We reasoned that genes were more likely to be involved in human disease if they were under a strong functional constraint, expressed heterogeneously across tissues, and lacked genetic redundancy. Young human genes that have been evolving under strong constraint between humans and chimps might also be enriched for genes that encode important primate or even human-specific functions
