On Poisson quasi-Nijenhuis Lie algebroids
We propose a definition of Poisson quasi-Nijenhuis Lie algebroids as a
natural generalization of Poisson quasi-Nijenhuis manifolds and show that any
such Lie algebroid has an associated quasi-Lie bialgebroid. Therefore, also an
associated Courant algebroid is obtained. We introduce the notion of a morphism
of quasi-Lie bialgebroids and of the induced Courant algebroids morphism and
provide some examples of Courant algebroid morphisms. Finally, we use paired
operators to deform doubles of Lie and quasi-Lie bialgebroids and find an
application to generalized complex geometry.Comment: 12 page
Toda systems and exponents of simple Lie groups
Results on the finite nonperiodic An Toda lattice are extended to the Bogoyavlesky Toda systems of type Bn and Cn. The areas investigated, include master symmetries, recursion operators, higher Poisson brackets and invariants. The results are presented both in Flaschka coordinates (a,b) as well as in the natural (q,p) coordinates. A conjecture which relates the degrees of higher Poisson brackets and the exponents of the corresponding Lie group is verified for these systems.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6VKR-42BT0VX-3/1/5111b82cd06e6016a123f286071a5d6
On Jacobi quasi-Nijenhuis algebroids and Courant-Jacobi algebroid morphisms
We propose a definition of Jacobi quasi-Nijenhuis algebroid and show that any
such Jacobi algebroid has an associated quasi-Jacobi bialgebroid. Therefore,
also an associated Courant-Jacobi algebroid is obtained. We introduce the
notions of quasi-Jacobi bialgebroid morphism and Courant-Jacobi algebroid
morphism providing also some examples of Courant-Jacobi algebroid morphisms.Comment: 14 pages, to appear in Journal of Geometry and Physic
Reduction of Jacobi manifolds via Dirac structures theory
We first recall some basic definitions and facts about Jacobi manifolds,
generalized Lie bialgebroids, generalized Courant algebroids and Dirac
structures. We establish an one-one correspondence between reducible Dirac
structures of the generalized Lie bialgebroid of a Jacobi manifold
for which 1 is an admissible function and Jacobi quotient
manifolds of . We study Jacobi reductions from the point of view of Dirac
structures theory and we present some examples and applications.Comment: 18 page
Reduction and construction of Poisson quasi-Nijenhuis manifolds with background
We extend the Falceto-Zambon version of Marsden-Ratiu Poisson reduction to
Poisson quasi-Nijenhuis structures with background on manifolds. We define
gauge transformations of Poisson quasi-Nijenhuis structures with background,
study some of their properties and show that they are compatible with reduction
procedure. We use gauge transformations to construct Poisson quasi-Nijenhuis
structures with background.Comment: to appear in IJGMM
Hierarchies and compatibility on Courant algebroids
We extend to the context of Courant algebroids several hierarchies that can
be constructed on Poisson-Nijenhuis manifolds. More precisely, we introduce
several notions (Poisson-Nijenhuis, deformation-Nijenhuis and Nijenhuis pairs)
that extend to Courant algebroids the notion of a Poisson-Nijenhuis manifold,
by using the idea that both the Poisson and the Nijenhuis structures, although
they seem to be different in nature when considered on manifolds, are just
-tensors on the usual Courant algebroid satisfying
several constraints. For each of the generalizations mentioned, we show that
there are natural hierarchies obtained by successive deformation by one of the
-tensor
Jacobi-Nijenhuis algebroids and their modular classes
Jacobi-Nijenhuis algebroids are defined as a natural generalization of
Poisson-Nijenhuis algebroids, in the case where there exists a Nijenhuis
operator on a Jacobi algebroid which is compatible with it. We study modular
classes of Jacobi and Jacobi-Nijenhuis algebroids

This study aimed to determine the HPV16 variant and sublineage present in the K14HPV16 mouse model. This information can be considered of great importance to further enhance this K14HPV16 model as an essential research tool and optimize its use for basic and translational studies. Our study evaluated HPV DNA from 17 samples isolated from 4 animals, both wild-type (n = 2) and HPV16-transgenic mice (n = 2). Total DNA was extracted from tissues and the detection of HPV16 was performed using a qPCR multiplex. HPV16-positive samples were subsequently whole-genome sequenced by next-generation sequencing techniques. The phylogenetic positioning clearly shows K14HPV16 samples clustering together in the sub-lineage A1 (NC001526.4). A comparative genome analysis of K14HPV16 samples revealed three mutations to the human papillomaviruses type 16 sublineage A1 representative strain. Knowledge of the HPV 16 variant is fundamental, and these findings will allow the rational use of this animal model to explore the role of the A1 sublineage in HPV-driven cancer.publishersversionpublishe
