Resolution of Weighted Homogeneous Surface Singularities

The purpose of this article is to review the method of Orlik and Wagreich to resolve normal singularities on weighted homogeneous surfaces X. Moreover, we explain the description of such surfaces by automorphy factors due to Dolgachev and Pinkham.

Dependence on nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) levels discriminates conventional T cells from Foxp3 + regulatory T cells

Several lines of evidence suggest nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) to control regulatory T cells: thymus-derived naturally occurring regulatory T cells (nTreg) depend on calcium signals, the Foxp3 gene harbors several NFAT binding sites, and the Foxp3 (Fork head box P3) protein interacts with NFAT. Therefore, we investigated the impact of NFAT on Foxp3 expression. Indeed, the generation of peripherally induced Treg (iTreg) by TGF-β was highly dependent on NFAT expression because the ability of CD4 + T cells to differentiate into iTreg diminished markedly with the number of NFAT family members missing. It can be concluded that the expression of Foxp3 in TGF-β–induced iTreg depends…

Affine varieties and lie algebras of vector fields

In this article, we associate to affine algebraic or local analytic varieties their tangent algebra. This is the Lie algebra of all vector fields on the ambient space which are tangent to the variety. Properties of the relation between varieties and tangent algebras are studied. Being the tangent algebra of some variety is shown to be equivalent to a purely Lie algebra theoretic property of subalgebras of the Lie algebra of all vector fields on the ambient space. This allows to prove that the isomorphism type of the variety is determinde by its tangent algebra.

The Lie algebra of polynomial vector fields and the Jacobian conjecture

The Jacobian conjecture for polynomial maps ϕ:Kn→Kn is shown to be equivalent to a certain Lie algebra theoretic property of the Lie algebra\(\mathbb{D}\) of formal vector fields inn variables. To be precise, let\(\mathbb{D}_0 \) be the unique subalgebra of codimensionn (consisting of the singular vector fields),H a Cartan subalgebra of\(\mathbb{D}_0 \),Hλ the root spaces corresponding to linear forms λ onH and\(A = \oplus _{\lambda \in {\rm H}^ * } H_\lambda \). Then every polynomial map ϕ:Kn→Kn with invertible Jacobian matrix is an automorphism if and only if every automorphism Φ of\(\mathbb{D}\) with Φ(A)\( \subseteq A\) satisfies Φ(A)=A.

The Herzog-Vasconcelos conjecture for affine semigroup rings

Let S be a simplicial affine semigroup such that its semigroup ring A = k[S] is Buchsbaum. We prove for such A the Herzog-Vasconcelos conjecture: If the A-module Der(k)A of k-linear derivations of A has finite projective dimension then it is free and hence A is a polynomial ring by the well known graded case of the Zariski-Lipman conjecture.
