Quantum Field Theory and Phylogenetic Branching
نویسندگان
چکیده
A calculational framework is proposed for phylogenetics, using nonlocal quantum field theories in hypercubic geometry. Quadratic terms in the Hamiltonian give the underlying Markov dynamics, while higher degree terms represent branching events. The spatial dimension L is the number of leaves of the evolutionary tree under consideration. Momentum conservation modulo Z ×L 2 in L ← 1 scattering corresponds to tree edge labelling using binary L-vectors. The bilocal quadratic term allows for momentum-dependent rate constants – only the tree or trees compatible with selected nonzero edge rates contribute to the branching probability distribution. Applications to models of evolutionary branching processes are discussed.

Exploring the implications of the laws and principles of quantum physics in the field of talent (quantum theory of talent)
The issue of talent-discovering is one of the most important issues in the field of education and research that has always been a concern for educational systems. Studying the issues of identifying and guiding talented students can illuminate a large part of the activities of the executors and practitioners in order to accomplish their mission effectively. On the other hand, quantum physics has...
متن کاملThe sums of Rogers, Schur and Ramanujan and the Bose-Fermi correspondence in 1 + 1-dimensional quantum field theory
We discuss the relation of the two types of sums in the Rogers-Schur-Ramanujan identities with the Bose-Fermi correspondence of massless quantum field theory in 1 + 1 dimensions. One type, which generalizes to sums which appear in the Weyl-Kac character formula for representations of affine Lie algebras and in expressions for their branching functions, is related to bosonic descriptions of the ...
متن کاملPolynomial Fermionic Forms for the Branching Functions of the Rational Coset Conformal Field Theories ŝu(2)M × ŝu(2)N/ŝu(2)M+N
General fermionic expressions for the branching functions of the rational coset conformal field theories ŝu(2)M × ŝu(2)N/ŝu(2)M+N are given. The equality of the bosonic and fermionic representations for the branching functions is proven by introducing polynomial truncations of these branching functions which are the configuration sums of the RSOS models in regime III. The path space interpretat...
متن کاملLattice-Plasmon Quantum Features
in this work, some of the lattice plasmon quantum features are examined. Initially, the interaction of the far-field photonic mode and the nanoparticle plasmon mode is investigated. We probe the optical properties of the array plasmon that are dramatically affected by the array geometry. It is notable to mention that the original goal of this work is to examine the quantum feature of the array ...
متن کاملPath integral formulation and Feynman rules for phylogenetic branching models
A dynamical picture of phylogenetic evolution is given in terms of Markov models on a state space, comprising joint probability distributions for character types of taxonomic classes. Phylogenetic branching is a process which augments the number of taxa under consideration, and hence the rank of the underlying joint probability state tensor. We point out the combinatorial necessity for a second...
