Curvature Concentrations on the HIV-1 Capsid

Similarity:

It is known that the retrovirus capsids possess a fullerene-like structure. These caged polyhedral arrangements are built entirely from hexagons and exactly 12 pentagons according to the Euler theorem. Viral capsids are composed of capsid proteins, which create the hexagon and pentagon shapes by groups of six (hexamer) and five (pentamer) proteins. Different distributions of these 12 pentamers result in icosahedral, tubular, or conical shaped capsids. These pentamer clusters introduce...

Curvature homogeneous spaces whose curvature tensors have large symmetries

Kazumi Tsukada (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We study curvature homogeneous spaces or locally homogeneous spaces whose curvature tensors are invariant by the action of “large" Lie subalgebras 𝔥 of 𝔰𝔬 ( n ) . In this paper we deal with the cases of 𝔥 = 𝔰𝔬 ( r ) 𝔰𝔬 ( n - r ) ( 2 r n - r ) , 𝔰𝔬 ( n - 2 ) , and the Lie algebras of Lie groups acting transitively on spheres, and classify such curvature homogeneous spaces or locally homogeneous spaces.
