Let G k , n ℂ for 2 ≤ k < n denote the Grassmann manifold of k -dimensional vector subspaces of ℂ n . In this paper, we compute, in terms of the Sullivan models, the rational evaluation subgroups and, more generally, the G -sequence of the inclusion G 2 , n ℂ ↣ G 2 , n + r ℂ for r ≥ 1 .

LetGk, n, be the Grassmann manifold consisting in all non-orientedk-dimensional vector subspaces of the spaceRk+n. In this paper we will show that any differentiable mappingf:Gk, n→Rm, has infinitely many critical points for suitable choices of the numbersm,n,k.

Let W be an n−dimensional vector space over a field F. It is shown that the expected dimension of a vector subspace of W is n/2. If F is infinite, the expected dimension of a sum of a pair of subspaces of W is (n + 1)/2 if n > 1; and 3/4 if n = 1. If F is finite, with q elements, the expected dimension of a sum of subspaces of W depends on q and n. For fixed n, the limiting value of this expectation as q → ∞ is n if n is even; and n − 1/4 if n is odd. Moreover, if F is finite and n > 1, the expected dimension of a sum of three (not necessarily distinct) subspaces of W has limit n as q → ∞.

This chapter introduces the concept of stable completion and provides a concrete representation of unit vector Mathematical Double-Struck Capital A superscript n in terms of spaces of semi-lattices, with particular emphasis on the frontier between the definable and the topological categories. It begins by constructing a topological embedding of unit vector Mathematical Double-Struck Capital A superscript n into the inverse limit of a system of spaces of semi-lattices L(Hsubscript d) endowed with the linear topology, where Hsubscript d are finite-dimensional vector spaces. The description is extended to the projective setting. The linear topology is then related to the one induced by the finite level morphism L(Hsubscript d). The chapter also considers the condition that if a definable set in L(Hsubscript d) is an intersection of relatively compact sets, then it is itself relatively compact.

<div><p>Since the end of 2019, the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has caused more than 180,000 deaths all over the world, still lacking a medical treatment despite the concerns of the whole scientific community. Human Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) was recently recognized as the transmembrane protein serving as SARS-CoV-2 entry point into cells, thus constituting the first biomolecular event leading to COVID-19 disease. Here, by means of a state-of-the-art computational approach, we propose a rational evaluation of the molecular mechanisms behind the formation of the complex and of the effects of possible ligands. Moreover, binding free energy between ACE2 and the active Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is evaluated quantitatively, assessing the molecular mechanisms at the basis of the recognition and the ligand-induced decreased affinity. These results boost the knowledge on the molecular grounds of the SARS-CoV-2 infection and allow to suggest rationales useful for the subsequent rational molecular design to treat severe COVID-19 cases.</p></div>
