Multigraded Hilbert Series of noncommutative modules
In this paper, we propose methods for computing the Hilbert series of
multigraded right modules over the free associative algebra. In particular, we
compute such series for noncommutative multigraded algebras. Using results from
the theory of regular languages, we provide conditions when the methods are
effective and hence the sum of the Hilbert series is a rational function.
Moreover, a characterization of finite-dimensional algebras is obtained in
terms of the nilpotency of a key matrix involved in the computations. Using
this result, efficient variants of the methods are also developed for the
computation of Hilbert series of truncated infinite-dimensional algebras whose
(non-truncated) Hilbert series may not be rational functions. We consider some
applications of the computation of multigraded Hilbert series to algebras that
are invariant under the action of the general linear group. In fact, in this
case such series are symmetric functions which can be decomposed in terms of
Schur functions. Finally, we present an efficient and complete implementation
of (standard) graded and multigraded Hilbert series that has been developed in
the kernel of the computer algebra system Singular. A large set of tests
provides a comprehensive experimentation for the proposed algorithms and their
implementations.Comment: 28 pages, to appear in Journal of Algebr

Coronavirus mRNA synthesis: identification of novel transcription initiation signals which are differentially regulated by different leader sequences.
The mRNA synthesis of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) has been proposed to be the result of interaction between the leader RNA and the intergenic sites. Previously, we have identified a transcription initiation site (for mRNA 2-1), which is more efficiently transcribed by viruses containing two copies of UCUAA sequence in the leader RNA than by those with three copies. In this study, we have identified several sites which are regulated in the opposite way, namely, they are efficiently transcribed by the leader RNA with three UCUAA copies but not by those with two copies. These sites were characterized by primer extension and amplification by polymerase chain reaction. One of these sites is in the gene 3 region of a recombinant virus between A59 and JHM strains of MHV. Another is in the gene 2 region of MHV-1 strain. Both of these sites have a sequence similar to but different from the consensus transcription initiation signal (UCUAAUCUAUC and UUUAAUCUU, as opposed to UCUAAAC). These two novel intergenic sequences are not present in the genome of the JHM strain, consistent with the absence of these mRNAs in the JHM-infected cells. The discovery of this type of transcription initiation site provides additional evidence for the importance of the leader RNA in the transcription initiation of MHV mRNAs

Electronic structure of the ferromagnetic superconductor UCoGe from first principles
The superconductor UCoGe is analyzed with electronic structure calculations
using Linearized Augmented Plane Wave method based on Density Functional
Theory. Ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic calculations with and without
correlations (via LDA+U) were done. In this compound the Fermi level is
situated in a region where the main contribution to DOS comes from the U-5f
orbital. The magnetic moment is mainly due to the Co-3d orbital with a small
contribution from the U-5f orbital. The possibility of fully non-collinear
magnetism in this compound seems to be ruled out. These results are compared
with the isostructural compound URhGe, in this case the magnetism comes mostly
from the U-5f orbital
Independence in constraint logic programs
Studying independence of literals, variables, and substitutions has proven very useful in the context of logic programming (LP). Here we study independence in the broader context of constraint logic programming (CLP). We show that a naive extrapolation of the LP definitions of independence to CLP is unsatisfactory (in fact, wrong) for two reasons. First, because interaction between variables through constraints is more complex than in the case of logic programming. Second, in order to ensure the efUciency of several optimizations not only must independence of the search space be considered, but also an orthogonal issue - "independence of constraint solving." We clarify these issues by proposing various types of search independence
and constraint solver independence, and show how they can be combined to allow different independence-related optimizations, from parallelism to intelligent backtracking. Sufficient conditions for independence which can be evaluated "a-priori" at run-time are also proposed. Our results suggest that independence, provided a suitable definition is chosen, is even more useful in CLP than in LP
Analyzing logic programs with dynamic scheduling
Traditional logic programming languages, such as Prolog, use a fixed left-to-right atom scheduling rule. Recent logic programming languages, however, usually provide more flexible scheduling in which computation generally proceeds leftto- right but in which some calis are dynamically
"delayed" until their arguments are sufRciently instantiated
to allow the cali to run efficiently. Such dynamic scheduling has a significant cost. We give a framework for the global analysis of logic programming languages with dynamic scheduling and show that program analysis based on this framework supports optimizations which remove much
of the overhead of dynamic scheduling
