Pointed Hopf Algebras with classical Weyl Groups
We prove that Nichols algebras of irreducible Yetter-Drinfeld modules over
classical Weyl groups supported by are
infinite dimensional, except in three cases. We give necessary and sufficient
conditions for Nichols algebras of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over classical Weyl
groups supported by to be finite dimensional.Comment: Combined with arXiv:0902.4748 plus substantial changes. To appear

Overexpression of an activated REL mutant enhances the transformed state of the human B-lymphoma BJAB cell line and alters its gene expression profile
The human REL proto-oncogene encodes a transcription factor in the nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB family. Overexpression of REL is acutely transforming in chicken lymphoid cells, but has not been shown to transform any mammalian lymphoid cell type. In this report, we show that overexpression of a highly transforming mutant of REL (RELDeltaTAD1) increases the oncogenic properties of the human B-cell lymphoma BJAB cell line, as shown by increased colony formation in soft agar, tumor formation in SCID (severe combined immunodeficient) mice, and adhesion. BJAB-RELDeltaTAD1 cells also show decreased activation of caspase in response to doxorubicin. BJAB-RELDeltaTAD1 cells have increased levels of active nuclear REL protein as determined by immunofluorescence, subcellular fractionation and electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Overexpression of RELDeltaTAD1 in BJAB cells has transformed the gene expression profile of BJAB cells from that of a germinal center B-cell subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (GCB-DLBCL) to that of an activated B-cell subtype (ABC-DLBCL), as evidenced by increased expression of many ABC-defining mRNAs. Upregulated genes in BJAB-RELDeltaTAD1 cells include several NF-kappaB targets that encode proteins previously implicated in B-cell development or oncogenesis, including BCL2, IRF4, CD40 and VCAM1. The cell system we describe here may be valuable for further characterizing the molecular details of REL-induced lymphoma in humans.P42 ES007381 - NIEHS NIH HHS; R01 CA047763 - NCI NIH HHS; CA047763 - NCI NIH HHS; R01 CA047763-20 - NCI NIH HHS; P42 ES007381-140019 - NIEHS NIH HHS; 5 P42 ES07381 - NIEHS NIH HHS; P42 ES007381-150019 - NIEHS NIH HHS; R01 CA047763-19 - NCI NIH HH
Study of the Wealth Inequality in the Minority Game
To demonstrate the usefulness of physical approaches for the study of
realistic economic systems, we investigate the inequality of players' wealth in
one of the most extensively studied econophysical models, namely, the minority
game (MG). We gauge the wealth inequality of players in the MG by a well-known
measure in economics known as the modified Gini index. From our numerical
results, we conclude that the wealth inequality in the MG is very severe near
the point of maximum cooperation among players, where the diversity of the
strategy space is approximately equal to the number of strategies at play. In
other words, the optimal cooperation between players comes hand in hand with
severe wealth inequality. We also show that our numerical results in the
asymmetric phase of the MG can be reproduced semi-analytically using a replica
method.Comment: 9 pages in revtex 4 style with 3 figures; minor revision with a

Effect of disorder with long-range correlation on transport in graphene nanoribbon
Transport in disordered armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGR) with long-range
correlation between quantum wire contact is investigated by transfer matrix
combined with Landauer's formula. Metal-insulator transition is induced by
disorder in neutral AGR. Thereinto, the conductance is one conductance quantum
for metallic phase and exponentially decays otherwise when the length of AGR is
infinity and far longer than its width. Similar to the case of long-range
disorder, the conductance of neutral AGR first increases and then decreases
while the conductance of doped AGR monotonically decreases, as the disorder
strength increases. In the presence of strong disorder, the conductivity
depends monotonically and non-monotonically on the aspect ratio for heavily
doped and slightly doped AGR respectively.Comment: 6 pages, 8 figures; J. Phys: Condensed Matter (May 2012
Pre-flare coronal dimmings
In this paper, we focus on the pre-flare coronal dimmings. We report our
multiwavelength observations of the GOES X1.6 solar flare and the accompanying
halo CME produced by the eruption of a sigmoidal magnetic flux rope (MFR) in
NOAA active region (AR) 12158 on 2014 September 10. The eruption was observed
by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) aboard the Solar Dynamic Observatory
(SDO). The photospheric line-of-sight magnetograms were observed by the
Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) aboard SDO. The soft X-ray (SXR) fluxes
were recorded by the GOES spacecraft. The halo CME was observed by the white
light coronagraphs of the Large Angle Spectroscopic Coronagraph (LASCO) aboard
SOHO.} {About 96 minutes before the onset of flare/CME, narrow pre-flare
coronal dimmings appeared at the two ends of the twisted MFR. They extended
very slowly with their intensities decreasing with time, while their apparent
widths (89 Mm) nearly kept constant. During the impulsive and decay phases
of flare, typical fanlike twin dimmings appeared and expanded with much larger
extent and lower intensities than the pre-flare dimmings. The percentage of 171
{\AA} intensity decrease reaches 40\%. The pre-flare dimmings are most striking
in 171, 193, and 211 {\AA} with formation temperatures of 0.62.5 MK. The
northern part of the pre-flare dimmings could also be recognized in 131 and 335
{\AA}.} To our knowledge, this is the first detailed study of pre-flare coronal
dimmings, which can be explained by the density depletion as a result of the
gradual expansion of the coronal loop system surrounding the MFR during the
slow rise of the MFR.Comment: 6 pages, 8 figures, to be accepted for publication by A&
The Finite Basis Problem for Kiselman Monoids
In an earlier paper, the second-named author has described the identities
holding in the so-called Catalan monoids. Here we extend this description to a
certain family of Hecke--Kiselman monoids including the Kiselman monoids
. As a consequence, we conclude that the identities of
are nonfinitely based for every and exhibit a finite
identity basis for the identities of each of the monoids and

In the third version a question left open in the initial submission has beed
answered.Comment: 16 pages, 1 table, 1 figur
