Title in Portuguese
Subalgebras maximais das álgebras de Lie semisimples, quebra de simetria e o código genético
Keywords in Portuguese
Grupos e Álgebras de Lie
Quebra de Simetria
Abstract in Portuguese
O propósito deste trabalho é dar uma contribuição ao projeto iniciado por Hornos & Hornos que visa explicar as degenerescências do código genético como resultado de sucessivas quebras de simetria ocorridas durante sua evolução. O modelo matemático usado requer a construção de todas as representações irredutíveis de dimensão 64 das álgebras de Lie simples (chamadas representações de códons) e a análise de suas regras de ramicação sob redução a subalgebras. A classicação de todas as possibilidades é baseada na classicação das subalgebras maximais das álgebras de Lie semisimples obtida por Dynkin. No presente trabalho, os resultados de Dynkin são apresentados em linguagem e notação moderna e são aplicados ao problema de construir todas as possíveis cadeias de subalgebras maximais das álgebras de Lie simples B_6 = so(13) e D_7 = so(14) e de identicar aquelas que reproduzem as degenerescências do código genético.

Maximal Sub-algebras of Semi-simple Lie Algebras, Symmetry Breaking and the Genetic Code

Symmetry Breaking
Abstract in English
The purpose of this work is to make a contribution to the project initiated by Hornos & Hornos which aims at explaining the degeneracy of the genetic code as the result of a sequence of symmetry breaking that occurred during its evolution. The mathematical model employed requires the construction of all 64-dimensional irreducible representations of simple Lie algebras (called codon representations) and the analysis of their branching rules under reduction to sub-algebras. The classification of all possibilities is based on Dynkins classification of the maximal sub-algebras of semi-simple Lie algebras. In the present work, Dynkins results are presented in modern language and notation and are applied to the problem of constructing all possible chains of maximal sub-algebras of the simple Lie algebras B_6 = so(13) and D_7 = so(14) and of identifying all those that reproduce the degeneracies of the genetic code.
