Combinatorial rules of icosahedral capsid growth
Richard Kerner
A model of growth of icosahedral viral capsids is proposed. It takes into account the diversity of hexamers' compositions, leading to definite capsid size. We show that the observe…
Ternary algebraic structures and their applications in physics
Richard Kerner
We discuss certain ternary algebraic structures appearing more or less naturally in various domains of theoretical and mathematical physics. Far from being exhaustive, this article…
Covariant q-Differential Calculus and its Deformations at q^N=1
R. Kerner, B. Niemeyer
We construct the generalized version of covariant Z_3-graded differential calculus introduced by one of us (R.K.), and then extended to the case of arbitrary Z_N grading. Here our…
The Born-Infeld electromagnetism in Kaluza-Klein theory
José P. S. Lemos, Richard Kerner
We investigate the properties of non-linear electromagnetism based on the Born-Infeld Lagrangian in multi-dimensional theories of Kaluza-Klein type. We consider flat space-time sol…
