New developments are presented in the framework of the model introduced by the authors in refs. [1,2] and in which nucleotides as well as codons are classified in crystal bases of the quantum group U_q(sl(2)+sl(2)) in the limit q -> 0. An…
In the framework of the crystal basis model of the genetic code, where each codon is assigned to an irreducible representation of $U_{q \to 0}(sl(2) \oplus sl(2))$, single base mutation matrices are introduced. The strength of the mutation…
In this paper, we develop the crystal basis theory for the quantum queer superalgebra $\Uq$. We define the notion of crystal bases, describe the tensor product rule, and present the existence and uniqueness of crystal bases for…
In this paper, we develop the crystal basis theory for the quantum queer superalgebra $U_q(\mathfrak q(n))$. We define the notion of crystal bases and prove the tensor product rule for $U_q(\mathfrak q(n))$-modules in the category…
Replication of DNA and synthesis of proteins are studied from the view-point of quantum database search. Identification of a base-pairing with a quantum query gives a natural (and first ever) explanation of why living organisms have 4…
Modelising the translation errors by suitable mathematical operators in the crystal basis model of the genetic code and requiring that codons prone to be misread encode the same amino-acid, the main features of the organisation in…
The systematics of indices of physico-chemical properties of codons and amino acids across the genetic code are examined. Using a simple numerical labelling scheme for nucleic acid bases, data can be fitted as low-order polynomials of the 6…
By starting from the four DNA bases order in the Boolean lattice, a novel Lie Algebra of the genetic code is proposed. Here, the principal partitions of the genetic code table were obtained as equivalent classes of quotient subspaces of the…
In this work it is shown that 20 canonical amino acids (AAs) within genetic code appear to be a whole system with strict AAs positions; more exactly, with AAs ordinal number in three variants; first variant 00-19, second 00-21 and third…
A representation of the genetic code as a six-dimensional Boolean hypercube is proposed. It is assumed here that this structure is the result of the hierarchical order of the interaction energies of the bases in codon-anticodon recognition.…
We develop a crystal base theory for the general linear Lie superalgebra $gl(m,n)$. We prove that any irreducible $U_q(gl(m,n))$-module in some category has a crystal base, and prove that its associated crystal base is parameterized by…
The structure of the genetic code is discussed in formal terms. A rectangular table of the code ("the code matrix"), whose properties reveal its arithmetical content tagged with the information symbols in several notations. New parameters…
We construct a crystal base of the negative half of a quantum orthosymplectic superalgebra. It can be viewed as a limit of the crystal bases of $q$-deformed irreducible oscillator representations. We also give a combinatorial description of…
Let $V(\lambda)$ be the irreducible lowest weight $U_q(D(N,1))$-module with lowest weight $\lambda$. Assume $\lambda = n_0\omega_0-\sum_{i=0}^{N}n_i\omega_i$, where $\omega_0$ is the fundamental weight corresponding to the unique odd coroot…
Let $\g$ be an affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra. Let $\U^+$ be the positive part of the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum enveloping algebra associated to $\g$. We construct a basis of $\U^+$ which is related to the Kashiwara-Lusztig global crystal basis…
The importance of the notion of symmetry in physics is well established: could it also be the case for the genetic code? In this spirit, a model for the Genetic Code based on continuous symmetries and entitled the "Crystal Basis Model" has…
It has been proposed that the degeneracy of the genetic code,i.e., the phenomenon that different codons (base triplets) of DNA are transcribed into the same amino acid, may be interpreted as the result of a symmetry breaking process. In the…
The mathematical concept of q-deformations, in particular the one of qnumbers, is used to study the genetic code(s). After considering two kinds of q-numbers, for comparison, a phenomenological classification scheme of the genetic code…
Regular $A_n$-crystals are certain edge-colored directed graphs which are related to representations of the quantized universal enveloping algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1})$. For such a crystal $K$ with colors $1,2,...,n$, we consider its…
We derive the amino acid assignment to one codon representation (typical 64-dimensional irreducible representation) of the basic classical Lie superalgebra osp(5|2) from biochemical arguments. We motivate the approach of mathematical…
