Higher form symmetries and M-theory

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2020
We discuss the geometric origin of discrete higher form symmetries of quantum field theories in terms of defect groups from geometric engineering in M-theory.

Sub-Finsler Horofunction Boundaries of the Heisenberg Group

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2021
We give a complete analytic and geometric description of the horofunction boundary for polygonal sub-Finsler metrics, that is, those that arise as asymptotic cones of word metrics, on the Heisenberg group.

The Drinfel'd Double and Twisting in Stringy Orbifold Theory

open access: yes, 2007
This paper exposes the fundamental role that the Drinfel'd double $\dkg$ of the group ring of a finite group $G$ and its twists $\dbkg$, $\beta \in Z^3(G,\uk)$ as defined by Dijkgraaf--Pasquier--Roche play in stringy orbifold theories and their twistings.

Potential Theory on Gromov Hyperbolic Spaces

open access: yesAnalysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2022
Gromov hyperbolic spaces have become an essential concept in geometry, topology and group theory. Herewe extend Ancona’s potential theory on Gromov hyperbolic manifolds and graphs of bounded geometry to a large class of Schrödinger operators on Gromov ...

Orbifold Construction for Topological Field Theories

open access: yes, 2018
An equivariant topological field theory is defined on a cobordism category of manifolds with principal fiber bundles for a fixed (finite) structure group. We provide a geometric construction which for any given morphism $G \to H$ of finite groups assigns

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

The geometry of hyperbolic lines in polar spaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper we consider partial linear spaces induced on the point set of a polar space, but with as lines the hyperbolic lines of this polar space. We give some geometric characterizations of these and related spaces.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Analysing the significance of small conformational changes and low occupancy states in serial crystallographic data

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This protocol paper outlines methods to establish the success of a time‐resolved serial crystallographic experiment, by means of statistical analysis of timepoint data in reciprocal space and models in real space. We show how to amplify the signal from excited states to visualise structural changes in successful experiments.
