(Universal) enveloping algebras of finite-dimensional Lie algebras are some of the most well-understood examples in noncommutative ring theory. On the other hand, enveloping algebras of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras are much more mysterious. This talk will survey what's known about these…
Bo Li, UC San Diego: Ligand-receptor binding and unbinding are fundamental molecular processes, whereas water fluctuations impact strongly their thermodynamics and kinetics. We develop a variational implicit-solvent model (VISM) and a fast binary level-set method to calculate the potential of mean force and the molecule-water…
