Lie Superalgebras and the Multiplet Structure of the Genetic Code II: Branching Schemes
arXiv:math-ph/9905017 · doi:10.1063/1.533418
Abstract
Continuing our attempt to explain the degeneracy of the genetic code using basic classical Lie superalgebras, we present the branching schemes for the typical codon representations (typical 64-dimensional irreducible representations) of basic classical Lie superalgebras and find three schemes that do reproduce the degeneracies of the standard code, based on the orthosymplectic algebra osp(5|2) and differing only in details of the symmetry breaking pattern during the last step.
