Additional Example:The following example is included in case this material is unfamiliar,but may be omitted.It might also be given as an exercise,providing a review of simple initial value problems.A more involved problem is given in the exercises.2-2Non-DimensionalizationA Simple Preliminary ExampleSuppose that we want to test an exponential model of tumor growth against a listof data collected in an oncologist’s office.We are ignoring the effect of theimmune system,as well as the competition between tumor cells for nutrients.Let T denote the number of tumor cells,and r the growth rate per cell.Thus,the differential equation describing growth is:dTNon-DimensionalizationA Simple Preliminary Example(continued)Suppose the detection threshold for tumors is approximately105cells.Therefore, the number of tumor cells present at the previous visit is T0<105cells.If T1is the number of tumor cells at the time of detection,andτis the time between visits,we canfind the MINIMUM rate of growth by solving the initial value problem:dTNon-DimensionalizationPreliminary Example:Dimensionless Variables Introduce the dimensionless variable:Y=T/T0=TD t,our new‘time’,whereD is the doubling time of normal cells(≈10days).Using the chain rule,the differential equation in terms of the dimensionless variables is:dYln2r5Non-DimensionalizationNotes for Preliminary Example Dimensionless Variables

the end result.The factor of ln2comes in because the rate,r,is in the exponent,and measurements are usually made in terms of doublings,i.e.powers of2,rather than powers of e.(3)Dds

equations.Note:“unit-carrying”means,for example,ˆE andˆT will be some quantity of cells,andˆt is some number of days.7-1Non-DimensionalizationStep2:Choose the Non-dimensionalizing ConstantsWe have3choices to make,and our goal is to reduce the number of PARAMETERS while rescaling very large and very small quantities.One option(among many):•Letˆt=a,i.e.scale time relative to THE TUMOR GROWTH RATE.•LetˆE=n/ˆt=n/a,i.e.scale the immune population relative to THE NUMBER OF TUMOR CELLS INACTIVATED BY EACH IMMUNE CELL(PER UNIT OF RESCALED TIME).•LetˆT=b,i.e.scale the tumor population relative to THE MAXIMUM TUMOR POPULATION(TUMOR CARRYING CAPACITY).8Notes for Choose the Non-dimensionalizing Constants slide:Answers:(1)three(ˆE,ˆT,andˆt).(2)parameters Note:There are many ways to choose these constants.The class might come up with different choices,which could then be compared.Our choice of constants differs from that of Kuznetsov[KMTP94].We comment on this further in a later slide.(3)the tumor growth rate(4)the number of tumor cells inactivated by each immune cell per unit of rescaled time(5)the maximum tumor population the tumor carrying capacityQuestion:What are the units of each of these quantities?Answer:ˆE andˆT are in units of cells−1,whileˆt is in units of days−1.8-1Non-DimensionalizationStep3:Define New(Dimensionless)ParametersDefine new system parameters in order to simplify the equations:σ=sˆEa2,ρ=pab,δ=dNotes for Define New(Dimensionless)Parameters slide:Answers:(1).04414(2).6917(3).04038(4).9506(5).2289Question:What are the dimensions of each new parameter?Answer:None of the parameters(or variables)have dimension.(Verify this.)Note:In the paper[KMTP94]a different non-dimensionalization is used.The choice of non-dimensionalizing constants presented in these slides,in contrast,results in sim-pler non-dimensional equations than those in[KMTP94].This choice also has the ad-vantage of highlighting the relevant relationships between the original parameters.For example,the parameterδnow represents the death rate of the immune cells,(original parameter:d),relative to the birth rate of the tumor cells(original parameter:a).When the equations are in this form,it is clearer that it is the ratio of these two quantities which9-1will determine the fate of the system,rather than the values themselves.Since we have reduced the number of parameters as much as possible,and we are left withfive,we say that this system has“five degrees of freedom”.See[EK88,chapter4.4,p.126].9-2Non-DimensionalizationThe Equations in Final Form Step4:Write the non-dimensionalized equations:dE∗η+T∗−µET−δE∗dT∗η+T∗−µET−δE∗(2)T∗(1−T∗)−T∗E∗Note for bifurcation analysis:Our choice of parameters leaves the equation for the evolution of the tumor cell population invariant under parameter changes.This has the effect offixing the tumor-nullcline.The effector-nullcline,in contrast,will shift as parameters shift.We note that with Kuznetsov’s choice of non-dimensionalization,both the tumor-nullcline and the effector-nullcline are parameter dependent.The effect of parameter changing on Kuznetsov’s non-dimensionalized equations is discussed in the section on bifurcation analysis.We point out that either choice of non-dimensionalization is valid,since it is always the relative orientation of the null-clines which is important.Suggested Exercise:As an exercise,have the students go through Kuznetsov’s [KMTP94]non-dimensionalization,in preparation for the section on bifurcation analysis in which we return to using Kuznetsov’s equations.10-1References[Ban98]Robert Banks.T owing Icebergs,Falling Dominoes,and Other Adventures in Mathematics.Princeton University Press,1998.[EK88]Leah Edelstein-Keshet.Mathematical Models in

Each of these is a well-defined disease entity with a homogenous population of patients with expected out-comes.Due to an overlap and lack of clarity of definitions and outcomes,entities like late-onset liver failure and subacute hepatic failure have become less relevant and are not often used.The growing interest in ACLF after thefirst consensus definition of ACLF from APASL[1]is evident by the fact that more than200publications as full paper have been published and the trend is surely increasing.A seminal paper from the EASL-CLIF consortium on the definition and out-come of ACLF has since appeared[2]based on the work of experts from several European and Western countries.The group of investigators working on liver failure in the Asia–Pacific region working for the past decade carefully analyzed the patient characteristics,natural history,and outcome over the years.The group met on yearly basis and collated data on Web site(www.aclf.in)since2009.The data were analyzed at meeting in China and Dhaka in2012,with the setting up of the APASL ACLF Research Consortium(AARC).The ret-rospective and prospective data of patients from different centers were analyzed,and the completed patient records were utilized for defining predictors of mortality and grades of liver failure and incidence of other organ failures.Experts from all over the globe,especially from the Asia–Pacific region,and members of thefirst consensus group were requested to identify pertinent and contentious issues in ACLF.Six major contentious issues and unmet needs in the management of ACLF were approached for the update:(1)what constitutes an acute insult;(2)whether chronic liver disease should be included or only cirrhosis of the liver in defining underlying liver disease;(3)the role of SIRS and sepsis as a cause or consequence of liver failure;(4)the incidence and impact of non-hepatic organ failures;(5)the relevance and grades of liver failure,the urgency, and outcome of liver transplant;and(6)an AARC pre-diction model of outcome of ACLF.The process for the development of the recommendations and guidelines included review of all available published literature onP.KomolmitDivision of Gastroenterology and Hepatology,Department of Medicine,Chulalongkorn University,Bangkok,ThailandtaDepartment of Nephrology,Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences,New Delhi110070,IndiaG.H.LeeDepartment of Gastroenterology and Hepatology,National University Health System,Singapore,SingaporeL.A.LesmanaDivision of Hepatology,University of Indonesia,Jakarta, IndonesiaM.MahtabÁS.RahmanDepartment of Hepatology,Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University,Dhaka,BangladeshR.MoreauInserm,U1149,Centre de recherche sur l’Inflammation(CRI), Paris,France R.MoreauUMR_S1149,Labex INFLAMEX,Universite´Paris Diderot Paris7,Paris,FranceR.MoreauDe´partement Hospitalo-Universitaire(DHU)UNITY,Service d’He´patologie,Hoˆpital Beaujon,APHP,Clichy,FranceQ.NingDepartment of Infectious Disease,Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology,Wuhan,ChinaV.PamechaDepartment of Hepatobiliary Surgery,Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences,New Delhi110070,IndiaD.A.PayawalDepartment of Hepatology,Cardinal Santos Medical Center, Manila,PhilippinesACLF by individual and group of experts;preparation of a review manuscript and consensus statements based on Oxford system of evidence-based approach[3]for devel-oping the consensus statements,circulation of all consen-sus statements to all experts,an effort to define the acute hepatic insults;the underlying chronic liver disease,a survey of the current approaches for the diagnosis and management of ACLF;discussion on contentious issues; and deliberations to prepare the consensus statement by the experts of the working party.A2-day meeting was held on February22–23,2014,at New Delhi,India,to discuss and finalize the recommendations and guidelines.These state-ments were circulated to all the experts,posted on the AARC Web site(www.aclf.in),and subsequentlyfinalized. These consensus statements and guidelines for the man-agement of such patients are included in this review.A brief background is included providing the available data and published information on each issue.Statements from thefirst consensus have been reproduced at places to give a background and continuity.The concept of ACLF and need for a definitionAcute liver failure is a well-defined medical emergency which is defined as a severe liver injury,leading to coag-ulation abnormality usually with an INR C1.5,and any degree of mental alteration(encephalopathy)in a patient without pre-existing liver disease and with an illness of up to4weeks duration[4].A proportion of patients who present with features mimicking ALF,however,have an underlying chronic liver disease or cirrhosis of the liver. These patients grouped together as acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF)also have a poor outcome.These patients are distinctly different from a group of cirrhotic patients who are already decompensated and have a sudden worsening of their condition due to an acute event as liver failure is central.The ACLF is a clinical syndrome manifesting as acute and severe hepatic derangements resulting from varied insults.This term wasfirst used in1995to describe a condition in which two insults to liver are operating simultaneously,one of them being ongoing and chronic, and the other acute[5].Over the years,nearly thirteen different definitions have been proposed,creating confu-sion in thefield[6].Any patient who has an underlying chronic liver disease with superimposed acute insult is being labeled as having ACLF,irrespective of evidence of liver failure per se or evidence of preexisting cirrhotic decompensation.Several investigators were concerned that this would lead to overlap with decompensated liver dis-ease.The main emphasis of the third consensus meeting of the APASL working party was to identify from this large group of patients,a subset of patients who have a relatively homogenous presentation and potentially similar outcome and restrict the use of the term‘‘acute-on-chronic liver failure’’to this subset.The2009APASL definition had provided a basis to select patients presenting with a distinct syndrome.To cover the entire spectrum of these patients, from mild to most severe,patients with chronic liver dis-ease with or without cirrhosis of the liver were included and carefully analyzed.It is understandable,though not well defined,that the nature and degree acute insult and the status of the underlying chronic liver disease would determine the outcome of the patient(Fig.1).To give clarity to the primary event,a hepatic insult, jaundice and coagulopathy,which defined liver failure was considered essential.In acute liver failure,though hepatic encephalopathy is part of the definition,it follows liver failure.Encephalopathy in the absence of overt jaundice or liver failure is separately categorized as due to by-pass[7].

However,sepsis is an integral part of development of multi-organ failure in any patient,be it of renal,pancreatic, or cardiac origin.The differences between the current definitions of CLIF consortium and APASL have been recently published[8].While thefirst APASL consensus was based on the data of only about200patients,the data of1700patients are now available from14countries.Records of1,363ACLF patients were analyzed.This formed the basis of re-eval-uating the validity of the APASL2009consensus.It was decided that,like in other studies,the analysis of the original data should be sent for separate publications and only the conclusions and recommendations based on these data can be used for the purpose of the consensus.To improve our understanding of the West,Prof Richard Moreau,thefirst author of the CANONIC study,kindly consented to join the consensus meeting.The6major issues as mentioned above,and28sub-issues,were defined,and systematic reviews were made available to all participants.These were addressed at length in the meeting.What constitutes an acute insultThis issue was divided into two parts:first,what is the time frame for the term‘‘acute,’’and second,what are the cri-teria to define the nature of an‘‘insult.’’A review of the different published definitions of acute liver failure and ACLF was done,and the current APASL definition of ACLF was reassessed.It was clear that the event must be new and acute,and its impact on the patient’s condition should be observable as liver failure within a given time frame.The EASL-AASLD consortium had initially kept the assessment of outcomes at3months[9],but subse-quently revised it to28days in the recent CANONIC study [2].The AARC data were carefully analyzed,and themortality rates were at different time points.A mortality rate of more than33%at4weeks was considered to be significant allowing recovery to less than two-thirds of the ing these criteria,the data showed that more than50%patients of ACLF die by week 4.It was, therefore,unanimously agreed that the4-week(28days) period should be maintained as per the initial definition for defining the impact of an acute event.Efforts were made in light of all the available data on defining the nature of acute event.The acute insult could vary depending on the geographic region and the popu-lation under study.These include both infectious and non-infectious causes.These were well characterized in the past.While Hepatitis B reactivation remains the pre-dominant cause of acute hepatic insult in the East,from the global perspective,the major etiologic agent was alcohol,both in the West and the East.This was a bit unexpected for the Asian countries where alcoholic hep-atitis is emerging as a major acute insult and shows the growing westernization of Asia.The predominant causes of acute hepatic insults are shown in Fig.2.A review of the recent CANONIC study data showed that in the West, the term precipitating event is generally used and proba-bly details of events such as Hepatitis B or superadded Hepatitis A and E are rarely encountered or recorded[2]. However,it was a bit surprising that active alcohol abuse and alcoholic hepatitis were also not the predominant causes.A plausible explanation could be that since the CANONIC study only recorded the acute decompensation of cirrhosis and not the hepatic insults,the major events recorded were only non-hepatic,such as bacterial infec-tions or sepsis.Acute decompensation of cirrhosis is a different entity than ACLF.As the core premise of ACLF is presented as liver failure,the acute insults should be hepatic insults.Both,hepatotropic or non-hepatotropic insults,should manifest in the patientfirst with liver failure.Acute hepatic insults of infectious etiology included reactivation of Hepatitis B virus(HBV)as the leading cause of ACLF in the Asian region[10–19].Reactivation of HBV could be either spontaneous or due to intensive chemotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy[10,11], immune restoration after highly active antiretroviral ther-apy for HIV[12,13],treatment-related[14],or reactivation of the occult HBV infection by rituximab(anti-CD20)-based chemotherapy[15–17].Similarly,reactivation of Hepatitis C virus infection has also been reported,espe-cially after immune suppressive therapy[18,19].The other very important infectious etiology of the acute event is super-infection with Hepatitis E virus,predominantly in patients in the Indian subcontinent[20–23].Various bac-terial,parasitic,and fungal infections may affect the liver.Spirochetal,protozoal,helminthic,or fungal organisms may directly infect the liver,whereas bacterial or parasitic infection may spread to the liver from other sites[24]. These infections may lead to liver failure in patients with underlying chronic liver disease.Among the non-infectious etiologies,alcoholic hepatitis is the major cause of acute deterioration in stable known or unknown chronic liver diseases,more often in the western countries[25,26].It was not clear what should be the interval from the last alcoholic drink to be included as acute insult.Since,after the direct hepatic injury,the immunologic injury starts to decline[27],a period of28days was considered adequate for inclusion as the last drink.The issue which remains to be addressed was of binge drinking in patients with ACLF due to recent alcohol intake.It was appreciated that a prospective data collection including the drinking behavior especially in the past6months would help decide the influence of drinking behavior on the clinical outcome and help in defining the time frame of what should be consid-ered as an acute insult.Hepatotoxic drugs and complimentary and alternative medicines(CAM)are important causes for acute and acute-on-chronic liver failure in the Asia–Pacific region[28]. Hepatitis following the use of anti-tubercular drugs was considered to be an important cause of acute insult leading to ACLF.In a proportion of patients,despite a history of use of CAM,the precise nature and injurious influence of the agent cannot be determined.The need for further data on the hepatic injury caused by different herbal prepara-tions needs to be studied.Acute variceal bleeding has been included as one of the events to define hepatic decompensation in the natural history of cirrhosis[29].Variceal bleeding has also been taken as an acute insult for ACLF in some western trials of ACLF.It was extensively debated whether to consider variceal bleed as an acute event of ACLF.Since the defi-nition of ACLF includes liver failure,jaundice,and coag-ulopathy,the variceal bleed should result in liver failure. The liver failure in such patients is mainly due to hepatic ischemia[30]and subsequent bacterial infections[31].It was discussed that for a patient with portal hypertension and cirrhosis of the liver who presents for thefirst time with variceal bleed without any previous or present signs or symptoms of chronic liver disease,it would not constitute an acute insult.This is especially relevant if such a patient does not develop any jaundice.The experts discussed the stratification of patients based on the stage of underlying liver disease and the severity of variceal bleed.However, since patients with ACLF never decompensated before and are distinct from patients with decompensated cirrhosis,it is unlikely that a variceal bleed would per se lead to sig-nificant liver failure manifesting as jaundice and coagu-lopathy.Based on the data,it was unanimously agreed that acute variceal bleeding is not an acute hepatic insult unless in the patients where it produces jaundice and coagulopa-thy defining ACLF.A scenario may exist that a patient who has already fulfilled the criteria of ACLF,and has been diagnosed ACLF,develops a variceal bleed.In such a patient,variceal bleed would be considered as a complication in the natural history of ACLF.The issue of other non-hepatotropic insults which have been considered in other studies such as surgery,trauma, insertion of transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt, transartrial chemoembolization,or radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma was discussed in detail.While there is an indirect connection with each of these,it was debated that a patient who already has cirrhosis with HCC or a cirrhotic who undergoes surgery,and separate risk scores are already in practice and being utilized.The likely potential for hepatic decompensation would vary depend-ing on the nature of intervention and underlying hepatic reserve.It was agreed that non-hepatotropic insults pro-ducing direct hepatic insult and ACLF in an otherwise compensated liver disease could be considered as acute hepatic insults(2b,C).In a proportion of patients in Asia or even in the west,the precise agent(s)leading to acute hepatic insult is not well recognized on routine assessment. In such patients,this should be recorded as such. RecommendationsDefining the acute event in ACLFThe ACLF can develop from one or more clearly defined acute hepatic insults,which can be due to hepatotropic or non-hepatotropic agents/causes.Acute insults vary depending on the geographic region and the population under study.Major etiologic agents responsible for pre-cipitating ACLF are as follows:1.1Hepatotropic viral infections(1a,A).1.1.1Among these,reactivation of Hepatitis Bvirus(HBV)infection and super-infectionwith HEV are the major causes of acuteinsult in ACLF(1a,A).1.1.2Among the non-infectious causes,activealcohol consumption(within the last28days)remains the commonest cause(1a,A).1.1.3Drug-induced liver injury,consumption ofcomplimentary and alternative medicines(CAM),severe autoimmune hepatitis,andflare of Wilson’s disease are other causesof acute insult in ACLF(1a,A).1.2Non-hepatotropic insults like surgery,trauma,andviral infections if producing direct hepatic insultcould lead to ACLF(2b,C).1.3Variceal bleed per se may not qualify as an acuteinsult for ACLF,and we need more data toascertain this(5,D).1.4In a proportion of patients,the acute hepatic insultmay not be identifiable by the current routineassessment(5,D).Defining the underlying chronic liver diseaseTwo aspects were carefully analyzed,what constitutes chronic liver disease,cirrhosis alone or non-cirrhotic chronic liver diseases,and the etiology of the chronic liver disease.The degree of hepaticfibrosis and the functional hepa-tocellular mass remains heterogeneous in patients with the chronic hepatitis[32,33].Even in patients with stage IV disease,critical mass varies according to the parenchymal reserves.Modified Laennec Scoring System divides stage IV further,according to the thickness of septa into three, ending up in six stages altogether[34,35].Moreover, ACLF is not equivalent to the acute decompensation of cirrhosis,which is the result of parenchymal extinction. Majority of the ACLF patients present with liver failure without any previous assessment of liver disease.It is not possible to distinguish accurately patients with different degree offibrosis at this point in time.The liver with any significant degree offibrosis,with activated stellate cells, and infiltrated by the inflammatory cells,is expected to respond in a different way to the acute insult compared to the liver without inflammatory infiltrate[36].The NAFLD is the leading cause of donor rejection in liver transplantation[37].Experience from liver trans-plantation centers shows that steatosis[30%in the donor liver is associated with a higher risk of primary non-function and graft initial poor function as compared to grafts with no or\30%steatosis[38].Patients with met-abolic syndrome and fatty liver,diabetics,male patients of age[45–50years,patients with obesity,and dyslipidemia have the increased risk offibrosis[39].While cirrhosis could be a late event,a large proportion of them may have stage2or3fibrosis.Hence,NASH is indeed an important cause of chronic liver disease[40].Furthermore,in the East,a large proportion of patients do have reactivation of chronic Hepatitis B.In these patients,while liver failure and ACLF-like presentation does develop,cirrhosis is not necessarily present.The AARC data,based on the liver biopsy studies,corroborated the facts that a fair proportion of patients with ACLF do not have underlying cirrhosis, but still carry a poor prognosis,with mortality above33% at4weeks.Based on the available data,the published literature and the validity of the2009consensus on including the non-cirrhotic chronic liver disease were reaffirmed.Accurate and reliable assessment of underlying CLD in the setting of ACLF is important for the subsequent man-agement and need for liver transplant in these patients. Diagnosis of chronic liver disease in the setting of ACLF is made by history,physical examination,and previously available or recent laboratory,endoscopic or radiologic investigations[41].Ultrasound and CT abdomen may pick up CLD.However,to assess the degree offibrosis in an un-shrunken liver would require other radiologic modalities. The current noninvasive tests cannot clearly diagnose the presence of chronic liver disease in the presence of inflammation and liver failure.Hence,liver biopsy through the transjugular route remains an important tool to confirm the stage offibrosis and presence of cirrhotic or non-cir-rhotic liver disease.A liver biopsy through the transjugular route may be of help when the presence of already underlying CLD and the cause of liver disease are not clear.The liver biopsy may highlight the etiology,stage offibrosis and prognosis,and outcome in patients with ACLF[42].In addition,transju-gular access directly into the hepatic vein allows the hepatic venous pressure gradient to be measured(HVPG). There is a risk of bleeding leading to hemobilia,hemo-peritoneum,and hepatic hematoma in the setting of the deranged clotting profile[43].The need of liver biopsy in ACLF should therefore be individualized.Standardization of liver biopsy assessment would help a uniform approach to the diagnosis and treatment for CLD and the acute insult.There is a need to have reliable noninvasive tools to assess the severity offibrosis in a previously undiagnosed CLD.Ultrasound and CT abdomen may pick up CLD. However,to assess the degree offibrosis in an un-shrunken liver would require other radiologic modalities.Transient elastography(fibroscan)is a good modality to detect fibrosis radiologically[44].However,the liver tissue stiffness may also increase with hepatitis,steatosis,and inflammation present in the ACLF setting[45].The second issue was about the etiology of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis in the Asian–Pacific region.Experts reviewed the data from the AARC,and the etiologic profile of cirrhosis in ACLF was found to be similar to the etiol-ogy of cirrhosis in general in the respective countries[26, 46,47].With the rising incidence of obesity and NAFLD, proportion of burnt-out NASH presenting as cryptogenic cirrhosis is also increasing[48–50].Viral serology and nucleic acid testing are required to identify viral etiology.Specialized tests to rule to diagnose metabolic and autoimmune diseases would be needed as well.

Our Heisenberg groups G g are subgroups in some Mumford groups and there is no canonical choice of a Schr¨o dinger representation for them in general(this ambiguity is responsible for the Pic(S)-part of our central extension ofΓ(A,2)).Moreover, unless S is a spectrum of an algebraically closedfield,it is not even obvious that a Schr¨o dinger representation for G g exists.Our main technical result that deals with this problem is the existence of a”Schr¨o dinger representation”forfinite symmetric Heisenberg group schemes of odd order established in section2.Further we observe that the obstacle to existence of such a representation is an elementδ(G g)in the Brauer group of S,and that the map g→δ(G g)is a homomorphism.This allows us to use the theory of arithmetic groups to prove the vanishing ofδ(G g).When an abelian scheme A is equipped with some additional structure(such as a symmetric line bundle)one can sometimes extend the above action of a central exten-sion ofΓ(A,2)on D b(A)to an action of a bigger group.The following two cases seem to be particularly interesting.Firstly,assume that a pair of line bundles on A andˆA is given such that the composition of the corresponding isogenies between A andˆA is the morphism of multiplication by some integer N>0.Then we can construct an action of a central extension of the principal congruenz-subgroupΓ0(N)⊂SL2(Z) on D b(A)(note that in this situation there is a natural embedding ofΓ0(N)into SL2(A)but the image is not necessarily contained inΓ(A,2)).Secondly,assume that we have a symmetric line bundle L on A giving rise to a principal polarization.Then there is a natural embedding of Sp2n(Z)into SL2(A n),where A n denotes the n-fold fibered product over S,which is an isomorphism when End(A)=Z.In this case we construct an action of a central extension of Sp2n(Z)on D b(A n).The main point in both cases is to show the existence of relevant Schr¨o dinger representations.Both these situations admit natural generalizations to abelian schemes with real multipli-cation treated in the same way.For example,we consider the case of an abelian scheme A with real multiplication by a ring of integers R in a totally real number field,equipped with a symmetric line bundle L such thatφL:A →ˆA is an R-linear principal polarization.Then there is an action of a central extension of Sp2n(R)by Z×Pic(S)on D b(A n).When R=Z we determine this central extension explicitly using a presentation of Sp2n(Z)by generators and relations.It turns out that the Pic(S)-part of this extension is induced by a non-trivial central extension of Sp2n(Z) by Z/2Z via the embedding Z/2Z֒→Pic(S)given by an element(π∗L)⊗4⊗ωA is the restriction of the relative canonical bundle of A/S to the zero section.Also we show that the restriction of this central extension to certain congruenz-subgroup Γ1,2⊂Sp2n(Z)splits.In the case when S is the spectrum of the algebraically closedfield the constructions2of this paper were developed in[22]and[20].In the latter paper the Z-part of the above central extension is described in the analytic situation.Also in[22]we have shown that the above action of an arithmetic group on D b(A)can be used to construct an action of the corresponding algebraic group over Q on the(ungraded)Chow motive of A.In the present paper we extend this to the case of abelian schemes and their relative Chow motives.Under the conjectural equivalence of D b(A n)with the Fukaya category of the mir-ror dual symplectic torus(see[12])the above projective action of Sp2n(Z)should correspond to a natural geometric action on the Fukaya category.The central exten-sion by Z appears in the latter situation due to the fact that objects are lagrangian subvarieties together with some additional data which form a Z-torsor(see[12]). The paper is organized as follows.In thefirst two sections we studyfinite Heisen-berg group schemes(non-degenerate theta groups in the terminology of[14])and their representations.In particular,we establish a key result(Theorem2.3)on the existence of a Schr¨o dinger representation for a symmetric Heisenberg group scheme of odd order.In section3we consider another analogue of Heisenberg group:the central extension H(ˆA×A)ofˆA×S A by the Picard groupoid of line bundles on S.We develop an analogue of the classical representation theory of real Heisenberg groups for H(ˆA×A).Schr¨o dinger representations forfinite Heisenberg groups enter into this theory as a key ingredient for the construction of intertwining operators.In section4we construct a projective action ofΓ(A,2)on D b(A),in section5—the corresponding action of an algebraic group over Q on the relative Chow motive of A. In section6we study the group SL2(A),the extension of SL2(A)which acts on the Heisenberg groupoid.In section7we extend the action ofΓ(A,2)to that of a bigger group in the situation of abelian schemes with real multiplication.In section8we study the corresponding central extension of Sp2n(Z).All the schemes in this paper are assumed to be noetherian.The base scheme S is always assumed to be connected.We denote by D b(X)the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a scheme X.For a morphism of schemes f:X→Y offinite cohomological dimension we denote by f∗:D b(X)→D b(Y)(resp.f∗:D b(Y)→D b(X))the derived functor of direct(resp.inverse)image.For any abelian scheme A over S we denote by e:S→A the zero section.For an abelian scheme A(resp. morphism of abelian schemes f)we denote byˆA(resp.ˆf)the dual abelian scheme (resp.dual morphism).For every line bundle L on A we denote byφL:A→ˆA the corresponding morphism of abelian schemes(see[17]).When this is reasonable a line bundle on an abelian scheme is tacitly assumed to be rigidified along the zero section(one exception is provided by line bundles pulled back from the base).For every integer n and a commutative group scheme G we denote by[n]=[n]G:G→G the multiplication by n on G,and by G n⊂G its kernel.We use freely the notational analogy between sheaves and functions writing in particular F x= Y G y,x dy,where x∈X,y∈Y,F∈D b(X),G∈D b(Y×X),instead of F=p2∗(G).31.Heisenberg group schemesLet K be afiniteflat group scheme over a base scheme S.Afinite Heisenberg group scheme is a central extension of group schemes(1.1)0→G m→G p→K→0such that the corresponding commutator form e:K×K→G m is a perfect pairing. Let A be an abelian scheme over S,L be a line bundle on A trivialized along the zero section.Then the group scheme K(L)={x∈A|t∗x L≃L}has a canonical central extension G(L)by G m(see[17]).When K(L)isfinite,G(L)is afinite Heisenberg group scheme.A symmetric Heisenberg group scheme is an extension0→G m→G→K→0 as above together with an isomorphism of central extensions G →[−1]∗G(identical on G m),where[−1]∗G is the pull-back of G with respect to the inversion morphism [−1]:K→K.For example,if L is a symmetric line bundle on an abelian scheme A (i.e.[−1]∗L≃L)with a symmetric trivialization along the zero section then G(L)is a symmetric Heisenberg group scheme.For any integer n we denote by G n the push-forward of G with respect to the morphism[n]:G m→G m.For any pair of central extensions(G1,G2)of the same group K we denote by G1⊗G2their sum(given by the sum of the corresponding G m-torsors).Thus,G n≃G⊗n.Note that we have a canonical isomorphism of central extensions(1.2)G−1≃[−1]∗G opwhere[−1]∗G op is the pull-back of the opposite group to G by the inversion morphism [−1]:K→K.In particular,a symmetric extension G is commutative if and only if G2is trivial.Lemma1.1.For any integer n there is a canonical isomorphism of central exten-sions[n]∗G≃G n(n+1)2where[n]∗G is the pull-back of G with respect to the multiplication by n morphism [n]:K→K.In particular,if G is symmetric then[n]∗G≃G n2.Proof.The structure of the central extension G of K by G m is equivalent to the following data(see e.g.[3]):a cube structure on G m-torsor G over K and a trivial-ization of the corresponding biextensionΛ(G)=(p1+p2)∗G⊗p∗1G−1⊗p∗2G−1of K2. Now for any cube structure there is a canonical isomorphism(see[3])[n]∗G≃G n(n+1)2which is compatible with the natural isomorphism of biextensions([n]×[n])∗Λ(G)≃Λ(G)n2≃Λ(G)n(n+1)2.4The latter isomorphism is compatible with the trivializations of both sides when G arises from a central extension.Remark.Locally one can choose a splitting K→G so that the central extension is given by a2-cocycle f:K×K→G m.The previous lemma says that for any 2-cocycle f the functions f(nk,nk′)and f(k,k′)n(n+1)2differ by a canonical coboundary.In fact this coboundary can be written explicitly in terms of the functions f(mk,k)for various m∈Z.Proposition1.2.Assume that K is annihilated by an integer N.If N is odd then for any Heisenberg group G→K the central extension G N is canonically trivial, otherwise G2N is trivial.If G is symmetric and N is odd then G N(resp.G2N if N is even)is trivial as a symmetric extension.bining the previous lemma with(1.2)we get the following isomorphism: [n]∗G≃G n(n+1)2≃G n⊗(G⊗G op−1)n(n−1)2=1for n=2N(resp.for n=N if N is odd).Hence, the triviality of G n in these cases.Corollary1.3.Let G→K be a symmetric Heisenberg group such that the order of K over S is odd.Then the G m-torsor over K underlying G is trivial.Proof.The isomorphism(1.2)implies that the G m-torsor over K underlying G2is trivial.Together with the previous proposition this gives the result.If G→K is a(symmetric)Heisenberg group scheme,such that K is annihilated by an integer N,n is an integer prime to N then G n is also a(symmetric)Heisenberg group.When N is odd this group depends only on the residue of n modulo N(due to the triviality of G N).We call aflat subgroup scheme I⊂K G-isotropic if the central extension(1.1) splits over I(in particular,e|I×I=1).Ifσ:I→G is the corresponding lifting,then we have the reduced Heisenberg group scheme0→G m→p−1(I⊥)/σ(I)→I⊥/I→0where I⊥⊂K is the orthogonal complement to I with respect to e.If G is a symmetric Heisneberg group,then I⊂K is called symmetrically G-isotropic if the restriction of the central extension(1.1)to I can be trivialized as a symmetric ex-tension.Ifσ:I→G is the corresponding symmetric lifting them the reduced Heisenberg group p−1(I⊥)/σ(I)is also symmetric.5Let us define the Witt group WH sym (S )as the group of isomorphism classes of finite symmetric Heisenberg groups over S modulo the equivalence relation generated by[G ]∼[p −1(I ⊥)/σ(I )]for a symmetrically G -isotropic subgroup scheme I ⊂K .The (commutative)addition in WH sym (S )is defined as follows:if G i →K i (i =1,2)are Heisenberg groups with commutator forms e i then their sum is the central extension0→G m →G 1×G m G 2→K 1×K 2→0so that the corresponding commutator form on K 1×K 2is e 1⊕e 2.The neutral element is the class of G m considered as an extension of the trivial group.The inverse element to [G ]is [G −1].Indeed,there is a canonical splitting of G ×G m G −1→K ×K over the diagonal K ⊂K ×K ,hence the triviality of [G ]+[G −1].We define the order of a finite Heisenberg group scheme G →K over S to be the order of K over S (specializing to a geometric point of S one can see easily that this number has form d 2).Let us denote by WH ′sym (S )the analogous Witt group of finite Heisenberg group schemes Gover S of odd order.Let also WH(S )and WH ′(S )be the analogous groups defined for all (not necessarily symmetric)finite Heisenberg groups over S (with equivalence relation given by G -isotropic subgroups).Remark.Let us denote by W(S )the Witt group of finite flat group schemes over S with non-degenerate symplectic G m -valued forms (modulo the equivalence relation given by global isotropic flat subgroup schemes).Let also W ′(S )be the analogous group for group schemes of odd order.Then we have a natural homomorphism WH(S )→W(S )and one can show that the induced map WH ′sym →W ′(S )is anisomorphism.This follows essentially from the fact that a finite symmetric Heisen-berg group of odd order is determined up to an isomorphism by the corresponding commutator form,also if G →K is a symmetric finite Heisenberg group with the commutator form e ,I ⊂K is an isotropic flat subgroup scheme of odd order,then there is a unique symmetric lifting I →G .Theorem 1.4.The group WH sym (S )(resp.WH ′sym (S ))is annihilated by 8(resp.4).Proof .Let G →K be a symmetric finite Heisenberg group.Assume first that the order N of G is odd.Then we can find integers m and n such that m 2+n 2≡−1mod(N ).Let αbe an automorphism of K ×K given by a matrix m −n n m .Let G 1=G ×G m G be a Heisenberg extension of K ×K representing the class 2[G ]∈WH ′sym (S ).Then from Lemma 1.1and Proposition 1.2we get α∗G 1≃G −11,hence 2[G ]=−2[G ],i.e.4[G ]=0in WH ′(S ).If N is even we can apply the similar argument to the 4-th cartesian power of G and the automorphism of K 4given by an integer 4×4-matrix Z such that Z t Z =6(2N−1)id.Such a matrix can be found by considering the left multiplication by a quaternion a+bi+cj+dk where a2+b2+c2+d2=2N−1.2.Schr¨o dinger representationsLet G be afinite Heisenberg group scheme of order d2over S.A representation of G of weight1is a locally free O S-module together with the action of G such that G m⊂G acts by the identity character.We refer to chapter V of[14]for basic facts about such representations.In this section we study the problem of existence of a Schr¨o dinger representation for G,i.e.a weight-1representation of G of rank d(the minimal possible rank).It is well known that such a representation exists if S is the spectrum of an algebraically closedfield(see e.g.[14],V,2.5.5). Another example is the following.As we already mentioned one can associate a finite Heisenberg group scheme G(L)(called the Mumford group)to a line bundle L on an abelian schemeπ:A→S such that K(L)isfinite.Assume that the base scheme S is connected.Then R iπ∗(L)=0for i=i(L)for some integer i(L) (called the index of L)and R i(L)π∗(L)is a Schr¨o dinger representation for G(L)(this follows from[17]III,16and[16],prop.1.7).In general,L.Moret-Bailly showed in [14]that a Schr¨o dinger representation exists after some smooth base change.The main result of this section is that for symmetric Heisenberg group schemes of odd order a Schr¨o dinger representation always exists.Let G be a symmetricfinite Heisenberg group scheme of order d2over S.Then lo-cally(in fppf topology)we can choose a Schr¨o dinger representation V of G.According to Theorem V,2.4.2of[14]for any weight-1representation W of G there is a canon-ical isomorphism V⊗HomG (V,V)≃O.Choose an open covering U i such that there existSchr¨o dinger representations V i for G over U i.For a sufficentlyfine covering we have G-isomorphismsφij:V i→V j on the intersections U i∩U j,andφjkφij=αijkφik on the triple intersections U i∩U j∩U k for some functionsαijk∈O∗(U i∩U j∩U k).Then(αijk) is a Cech2-cocycle with values in G m whose cohomology class e(G)∈H2(S,G m) doesn’t depend on the choices made.Furthermore,by definition e(G)is trivial if and only if there exists a global weight-1representation we are looking for.Using the language of gerbs(see e.g.[8])we can rephrase the construction above withoutfixing an open ly,to eachfinite Heisenberg group G we can associate the G m-gerb Schr G on S such that Schr G(U)for an open set U⊂S is the category of Schr¨o dinger representations for G over U.Then Schr G represents the cohomology class e(G)∈H2(S,G m).Notice that the class e(G)is actually represented by an Azumaya algebra A(G) which is defined as follows.Locally,we can choose a Schr´o dinger representation V for G and put A(G)=End(V)≃Endisomorphism f:V→V′(since any other G-isomorphism differs from f by a scalar), hence these local algebras glue together into a global Azumaya algebra A(G)of rank d2.In particular,d·e(G)=0(see e.g.[9],prop.1.4).Now let W be a global weight-1representation of G which is locally free of rank l·d over S.Then we claim that EndG (W)≃Mat l(O).Now we claim that there is a global algebra isomorphismA(G)⊗End(W).Indeed,we have canonical isomorphism of G-modules of weight1(resp.−1)V⊗Hom G(V∗,W∗) →W∗).Hence,we have a sequence of natural morphismsEnd G(V∗,W∗)⊗Hom(V)⊗Hom G×G(V∗⊗V,W∗⊗W)→End G(W)—the latter map is obtained by taking the image of the identity section id∈V∗⊗V under a G×G-morphism V∗⊗V→W∗⊗W.It is easy to see that the composition morphism gives the required isomorphism.This leads to the following statement. Proposition2.1.For anyfinite Heisenberg group scheme G over S a canonical element e(G)∈Br(S)is defined such that e(G)is trivial if and only if a Schr¨o dinger representation for G exists.Furthermore,d·e(G)=0where the order of G is d2, and if there exists a weight-1G representation which is locally free of rank l·d over S then l·e(G)=0.Proposition2.2.The map[G]→e(G)defines a homomorphism WH(S)→Br(S). Proof.First we have to check that if I⊂K is a G-isotropic subgroup, I⊂G its lifting, and G)=e(G).Indeed,there is a canonical equivalence of G m-gerbs Schr G→SchrProof.Let[G]∈WH′sym(S)be a class of G in the Witt group.Then4[G]=0by Theorem1.4,hence4e(G)=0by Proposition2.2.On the other hand,d·e(G)=0 by Proposition2.1where d is odd,therefore,e(G)=0.Let us give an example of a symmetricfinite Heisenberg group scheme of even order without a Schr¨o dinger representation.First let us recall the construction from [23]which associates to a group scheme G over S which is a central extension of afinite commutative group scheme K by G m,and a K-torsor E over S a class e(G,E)∈H2(S,G m).Morally,the mapH1(S,K)→H2(E,G m):E→e(G,E)is the boundary homomorphism corresponding to the exact sequence0→G m→G→K→0.To define it consider the category C of liftings of E to to a G-torsor.Locally such a lifting always exists and any two such liftings differ by a G m-torsor.Thus,C is a G2-gerb over S,and by definition e(G,E)is the class of C in H2(S,G m)Note that e(G,E)=0if and only if there exists a G-equivariant line bundle L over E,such that G m⊂G acts on L via the identity character.A K-torsor E defines a commutative group extension G E of K by G m as follows. Choose local trivializations of E over some covering(U i)and letαij∈K(U i∩U j) be the corresponding1-cocycle with values in K.Now we glue G E from the trivial extensions G m×K over U i by the following transition isomorphisms over U i∩U j:f ij:G m×K→G m×K:(λ,x)→(λe(x,αij),x)where e:K×K→G m is the commutator form corresponding to G.It is easy to see that G E doesn’t depend on a choice of trivializations.Now we claim that if G isa Heisenberg group then(2.1)e(G,E)=e(G⊗G E)−e(G).This is checked by a direct computation with Cech cocycles.Notice that if E2is a trivial K-torsor then G2E is a trivial central extension of K,hence G E is a symmetric extension.Thus,if G is a symmetric Heisenberg group,then G⊗G E is also symmetric. As was shown in[23]the left hand side of(2.1)can be ly,consider the case when S=A is a principally polarized abelian variety over an algebraically closedfield k of characteristic=2.Let K=A2×A considered as a(constant)finite group scheme over A.Then we can consider E=A as a K-torsor over A via the morphism[2]:A→A.Now if G→A2is a Heisenberg extension of A2(defined over k)then we can consider G as a constant group scheme over A and the class e(G,E) is trivial if and only if G embeds into the Mumford group G(L)of some line bundle L over A(this embedding should be the identity on G m).When NS(A)=Z this means, in particular,that the commutator form A2×A2→G m induced by G is proportional9to the symplectic form given by the principal polarization.When dim A≥2there is a plenty of other symplectic forms on A2,hence,e(G,E)can be non-trivial.Now we are going to show that one can replace A by its general point in this example.In other words,we consider the base S=Spec(k(A))where k(A)is the field of rational functions on A.Then E gets replaced by Spec(k(A))considered asa A2-torsor over itself corresponding to the Galois extension[2]∗:k(A)→k(A):f→f(2·)with the Galois group A2.Note that the class e(G,E)for any Heisenberg extension G of A2by k∗is annihilated by the pull-back to E,hence,it is represented by the class of Galois cohomology H2(A2,k(A)∗)⊂Br(k(A))where A2acts on k(A) by translation of argument.It is easy to see that this class is the image of the class e G∈H2(A2,k∗)of the central extension G under the natural homomorphism H2(A2,k∗)→H2(A2,k(A)∗).From the exact sequence of groups0→k∗→k(A)∗→k(A)∗/k∗→0we get the exact sequence of cohomologies0→H1(A2,k(A)∗/k∗)→H2(A2,k∗)→H2(A2,k(A)∗)(note that H1(A2,k(A)∗)=0by Hilbert theorem90).It follows that central exten-sions G of A2by k∗with trivial e(G,E)are classified by elements of H1(A2,k(A)∗/k∗).Lemma2.4.Let A be a principally polarized abelian variety over an algebraically closedfield k of characteristic=2.Assume that NS(A)=Z.Then H1(A2,k(A)∗/k∗)= Z/2Z.Proof.Interpreting k(A)∗/k∗as the group of divisors linearly equivalent to zero we obtain the exact sequence0→k(A)∗/k∗→Div(A)→Pic(A)→0,where Div(A)is the group of all divisors on A.Note that as A2-module Div(A) is decomposed into a direct sum of modules of the form Z A2/H where H⊂A2is a subgroup.Now by Shapiro lemma we have H1(A2,Z A2/H)≃H1(H,Z),and the latter group is zero since H is a torsion group.Hence,H1(A2,Div(A))=0.Thus, from the above exact sequence we get the identificationH1(A2,k(A)∗/k∗)≃coker(Div(A)A2→Pic(A)A2).Now we use the exact sequence0→Pic0(A)→Pic(A)→NS(A)→0,10where Pic0(A)=ˆA(k).Since the actions of A2on Pic0(A)and NS(A)are trivial we have the induced exact sequence0→Pic0(A)→Pic(A)A2→NS(A).The image of the right arrow is the subgroup2NS(A)⊂NS(A).Note that Pic0(A)= [2]∗Pic0(A),hence this subgroup belongs to the image of[2]∗Div(A)⊂Div(A)A2. Thus,we deduce thatH1(A2,k(A)∗/k∗)≃coker(Div(A)A2→2NS(A)).Let[L]⊂NS(A)be the generator corresponding to a line bundle L of degree1on A. Then L4=[2]∗L,hence4·[L]=[L4]belongs to the image of Div(A)A2.On the other hand,it is easy to see that there is no A2-invariant divisor representing[L2],henceH1(A2,k(A)∗/k∗)≃Z/2Z.It follows that under the assumptions of this lemma there is a unique Heisenberg extensions G of A2by k∗with the trivial class e(G,E)(the Mumford extension corresponding to L2,where L is a line bundle of degree1on A).Hence,for g≥2 there exists a Heisenberg extension with a non-trivial class e(G,E)∈Br(k(A)).3.Representations of the Heisenberg groupoidRecall that the Heisenberg group H(W)associated with a symplectic vector space W is a central extension0→T→H(W)→W→0of W by the1-dimensional torus T with the commutator form exp(B(·,·))where B is the symplectic form.In this section we consider an analogue of this extension in the context of abelian schemes(see[22],sect.7,[23]).Namely,we replace a vector space W by an abelian scheme X/S.Bilinear forms on W get replaced by biextensions of X2.Recall that a biextension of X2is a line bundle L on X2together with isomorphismsL x+x′,y≃L x,y⊗L x′,y,L x,y+y′≃L x,y⊗L x,y′—this is a symbolic notation for isomorphisms(p1+p2,p3)∗L≃p∗13L⊗p∗23L and (p1,p2+p3)∗L≃p∗12L⊗p∗13L on X3,satisfying some natural cocycle conditions (see e.g.[3]).The parallel notion to the skew-symmetric form on W is that of a skew-symmetric biextension of X2which is a biextension L of X2together with an isomorphism of biextensionsφ:σ∗L →L−1,whereσ:X2→X2is the permutation of11factors,and a trivialization∆∗L≃O X of L over the diagonal∆:X→X2compati-ble withφ.A skew-symmetric biextension L is called symplectic if the corresponding homomorphismψL:X→ˆX(whereˆX is the dual abelian scheme)is an isomor-phism.An isotropic subscheme(with respect to L)is an abelian subscheme Y⊂X such that there is an isomorphism of skew-symmetric biextensions L|Y×Y≃O Y×Y. This is equivalent to the condition that the composition Y i→XψL→ˆXˆi→ˆY is zero. An isotropic subscheme Y⊂X is called lagrangian if the morphism Y→ker(ˆi) induced byψL is an isomorphism.In particular,for such a subscheme the quotient X/Y exists and is isomorphic toˆY.Note that to define the Heisenberg group extension it is not sufficient to have a symplectic form B on W:one needs a bilinear form B1such that B(x,y)=B1(x,y)−B1(y,x).In the case of the real symplectic space one can just take B1=B/2,however in our situation we have to simply add necessary data.An enhanced symplectic biextension(X,B)is a biextension B of X2such that L:=B⊗σ∗B−1is a symplectic biextension.The standard enhanced symplectic biextension for X=ˆA×A,where A is any abelian scheme,is obtained by settingB=p∗14P∈Pic(ˆA×A׈A×A),where P is the normalized Poincar´e line bundle on A׈A.Given an enhanced symplectic biextension(X,B)one defines the Heisenberg groupoid H(X)=H(X,B)as the stack of monoidal groupoids such that H(X)(S′)for an S-scheme S′is the monoidal groupoid generated by the central subgroupoid P ic(S′)of G m-torsors on S′and the symbols T x,x∈X(S′)with the composition lawT x◦T x′=B x,x′T x+x′.The Heisenberg groupoid is a central extension of X by the stack of line bundles on S in the sense of Deligne[4].In[22]we considered the action of H(ˆA×A)on D b(A)which is similar to the stan-dard representation of the Heisenberg group H(W)on functions on a lagrangian sub-space of W.Below we construct similar representations of the Heisenberg groupoid H(X)associated with lagrangian subschemes in X.Further,we construct inter-twining functors for two such representations corresponding to a pair of lagrangian subschemes,and consider the analogue of Maslov index for a triple of lagrangian subschemes that arises when composing these intertwining functors.To define an action of H(X)associated with a lagrangian subscheme one needs some auxilary data described as follows.An enhanced lagrangian subscheme(with respect to B)is a pair(Y,α)where Y⊂X is a lagrangian subscheme with respect to X,αis a line bundle on Y with a rigidification along the zero section such that an isomorphism of symmetric biextensionsΛ(α)≃B|Y×Y is given,whereΛ(α)=12。

黎曼猜想英语The Riemann Hypothesis, named after the 19th-century mathematician Bernhard Riemann, is one of the most profound and consequential conjectures in mathematics. It is concerned with the distribution of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function, a complex function denoted as $$\zeta(s)$$, where $$s$$ is a complex number. The hypothesis posits that all non-trivial zeros of this analytical function have their real parts equal to $$\frac{1}{2}$$.To understand the significance of this conjecture, one must delve into the realm of number theory and the distribution of prime numbers. Prime numbers are the building blocks of arithmetic, as every natural number greater than 1 is either a prime or can be factored into primes. The distribution of these primes, however, has puzzled mathematicians for centuries. The Riemann zeta function encodes information about the distribution of primes through its zeros, and thus, the Riemann Hypothesis is directly linked to understanding this distribution.The zeta function is defined for all complex numbers except for $$s = 1$$, where it has a simple pole. For values of $$s$$ with a real part greater than 1, it converges to a sum over the positive integers, as shown in the following equation:$$\zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^s}$$。
a r X i v :m a t h -p h /0411040v 1 10 N o v 2004Abstract .—Building upon Dyson’s fundamental 1962article known in random-matrix theory as the threefold way ,we classify disordered fermion systems with quadratic Hamil-tonians by their unitary and antiunitary symmetries.Important physical examples are af-forded by noninteracting quasiparticles in disordered metals and superconductors,and by relativistic fermions in random gauge field backgrounds.The primary data of the classification are a Nambu space of fermionic field opera-tors which carry a representation of some symmetry group.Our approach is to eliminate all of the unitary symmetries from the picture by transferring to an irreducible block of equivariant homomorphisms.After reduction,the block data specifying a linear space of symmetry-compatible Hamiltonians consist of a basic vector space V ,a space of en-domorphisms in End (V ⊕V ∗),a bilinear form on V ⊕V ∗which is either symmetric or alternating,and one or two antiunitary symmetries that may mix V with V ∗.Every such set of block data is shown to determine an irreducible classical compact symmetric space.Conversely,every irreducible classical compact symmetric space occurs in this way.This proves the correspondence between symmetry classes and symmetric spaces con-jectured some time ago.Keywords :disordered electron systems,random Dirac fermions,quantum chaos;repre-sentation theory,symmetric spaces1.IntroductionIn a famous and influential paper published in 1962(“The threefold way:algebraic structure of symmetry groups and ensembles in quantum mechanics”[D ]),Freeman J.Dyson classified matrix ensembles by a scheme that became fundamental to several areas of theoretical physics,including the statistical theory of complex many-body systems,mesoscopic physics,disordered electron systems,and the area of quantum chaos.Being set in the context of standard quantum mechanics,Dyson’s classification asserted that “the most general matrix ensemble,defined with a symmetry group that may be completely arbitrary,reduces to a direct product of independent irreducible2P.HEINZNER,A.HUCKLEBERRY&M.R.ZIRNBAUERensembles each of which belongs to one of three known types.”These three ensembles, or rather their underlying matrix spaces,are nowadays known as the Wigner-Dyson symmetry classes of orthogonal,unitary,and symplectic symmetry.Over the last ten years,various matrix spaces beyond Dyson’s threefold way have come to the fore in random-matrix physics and mathematics.On the physics side,such spaces arise in problems of disordered or chaotic fermions;among these are the Eu-clidean Dirac operator in a stochastic gaugefield background[V2],and quasiparticle excitations in disordered superconductors or metals in proximity to a superconductor [A2].In the mathematical research area of number theory,the study of statistical cor-relations in the values of the Riemann zeta function,and more generally of families of L-functions,has prompted some of the same extensions[K].A brief account of why new structures emerge on the physics side is as follows. When Diracfirst wrote down his famous equation in1928,he assumed that he was writing an equation for the wavefunction of the ter,because of the insta-bility caused by negative-energy solutions,the Dirac equation was reinterpreted(via second quantization)as an equation for the fermionicfield operators of a quantum field theory.A similar change of viewpoint is carried out in reverse in the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mean-field description of quasiparticle excitations in superconduc-tors.There,one starts from the equations of motion for linear superpositions of the electron creation and annihilation operators,and reinterprets them as a unitary quan-tum dynamics for what might be called the quasiparticle‘wavefunction’.In both cases–the Dirac equation and the quasiparticle dynamics of a superconduc-tor–there enters a structure not present in the standard quantum mechanics underlying Dyson’s classification:the fermionicfield operators are subject to a set of conditions known as the canonical anticommutation relations,and these are preserved by the quantum dynamics.Therefore,whenever second quantization is undone(assuming it can be undone)to return fromfield operators to wavefunctions,the wavefunction dy-namics is required to preserve some extra structure.This puts a linear constraint on the allowed Hamiltonians.A good viewpoint to adopt is to attribute the extra invariant structure to the Hilbert space,thereby turning it into a Nambu space.It was conjectured some time ago[A2]that extending Dyson’s classification to the Nambu space setting,the relevant objects one is led to consider are large families of symmetric spaces of compact type.Past understanding of the systematic nature of the extended classification scheme relied on the mapping of disordered fermion problems tofield theories with supersymmetric target spaces[Z]in combination with renormalization group ideas and the classification theory of Lie superalgebras.An extensive review of the mathematics and physics of symmetric spaces,covering the wide range from the basic definitions to various random-matrix applications,has recently been given in[C].That work,however,offers no answers to the question as to why symmetric spaces are relevant for symmetry classification,and under what assumptions the classification by symmetric spaces is complete.SYMMETRY CLASSES OF DISORDERED FERMIONS3 In the present paper,we get to the bottom of the subject and,using a minimal set of tools from linear algebra,give a rigorous answer to the classification problem for disor-dered fermions.The rest of this introduction gives an overview over the mathematical model to be studied and a statement of our main result.We begin with afinite-or infinite-dimensional Hilbert space V carrying a unitary representation of some compact Lie group G0–this is the group of unitary symmetries of the disordered fermion system.We emphasize that G0need not be connected;in fact,it might be just afinite group.Let W=V⊕V∗,called the Nambu space of fermionicfield operators,be equipped with the induced G0-representation.This means that V is equipped with the given representation,and g(f):=f◦g−1for f∈V∗,g∈G0.Let C:W→W be the C-antilinear involution determined by the Hermitian scalar product , V on V.In physics this operator is called particle-hole conjugation.Another canonical structure on W is the symmetric complex bilinear form b:W×W→C defined byb(v1+f1,v2+f2):=f1(v2)+f2(v1).It encodes the canonical anticommutation relations for fermions,and is related to the unitary structure , of W by b(w1,w2)= Cw1,w2 for all w1,w2∈W.It is assumed that G0is contained in a group G–the total symmetry group of the fermion system–which is acting on W by transformations that are either unitary or antiunitary.An element g∈G either stabilizes V or exchanges V and V∗.In the latter case we say that g∈G mixes,and in the former case we say that it is nonmixing. The group G is generated by G0and distinguished elements g T which act as anti-unitary operators T:W→W.These are referred to as distinguished‘time-reversal’symmetries,or T-symmetries for short.The squares of the g T lie in the center of the abstract group G;we therefore require that the antiunitary operators T representing them satisfy T2=±Id.The subgroup G0is defined as the set of all elements of G which are represented as unitary,nonmixing operators on W.If T and T1are distinguished time-reversal operators,then P:=T T1is a unitary sym-metry.P may be mixing or nonmixing.In the latter case,P is in G0.Therefore,modulo G0,there exist at most two different T-symmetries.If there are exactly two such sym-metries,we adopt the convention that T is mixing and T1is nonmixing.Furthermore, it is assumed that T and T1either commute or anticommute,i.e.,T1T=±T T1.As explained throughout this article,all of these situations are well motivated by physical considerations and examples.We note that time-reversal symmetry(and all other T-symmetries)of the disordered fermion system may also be broken;in this case T and T1are eliminated from the mathematical model and G0=G.Given W and the representation of G on it,the object of interest is the real vector space H of C-linear operators in End(W)that preserve the canonical structures b and , of W and commute with the G-action.Physically speaking,H is the space of ‘good’Hamiltonians:thefield operator dynamics generated by H∈H preserves both4P.HEINZNER,A.HUCKLEBERRY &M.R.ZIRNBAUERthe canonical anticommutation relations and the probability in Nambu space,and is compatible with the prescribed symmetry group G .When unitary symmetries are present,the space H decomposes by blocks associ-ated with isomorphism classes of G 0-subrepresentations occurring in W .To formal-ize this,recall that two unitary representations ρi :G 0→U (V i ),i =1,2,are equiv-alent if and only if there exists a unitary C -linear isomorphism ϕ:V 1→V 2so that ρ2(g )(ϕ(v ))=ϕ(ρ1(g )(v ))for all v ∈V 1and for all g ∈G 0.Let ˆG 0denote the space of equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of G 0.An element λ∈ˆG 0is called an isomorphism class for short.By standard facts (recall that every represen-tation of a compact group is completely reducible)the unitary G 0-representation on V decomposes as an orthogonal sum over isomorphism classes:V =⊕λV λ.The subspaces V λare called the G 0-isotypic components of V .Some of them may be zero.(Some of the isomorphism classes of G 0may just not be realized in V .)For simplicity suppose now that there is only one distinguished time-reversal sym-metry T ,and for any fixed λ∈ˆG0with V λ=0,consider the vector space T (V λ).If T is nonmixing,i.e.,T :V →V ,then T (V λ)⊂V must coincide with the isotypic component for the same or some other isomorphism class.(Since conjugation by g T is an automorphism of G 0,the decomposition into G 0-isotypic components is preserved by T .)If T is mixing,i.e.,T :V →V ∗,then T (V λ)=V ∗λ′,still with some λ′∈ˆG 0.Now define the block B λto be the smallest G -invariant space containing V λ⊕V ∗λ.Note that if we are in the situation of nonmixing and T (V λ)=V λ,thenB λ= V λ⊕T (V λ) ⊕ V λ⊕T (V λ) ∗.On the other hand,if we are in the situation of mixing and T (V λ)=V ∗λ,thenB λ= V λ⊕T (V ∗λ) ⊕ V ∗λ⊕T (V λ) .The block B λis halved if T (V λ)=V λresp.T (V λ)=V ∗λ.Note that if there are two distinguished T -symmetries,the above discussion is only slightly more complicated.In any case we now have the basic G -invariant blocks B λ.Because different blocks are built from representations of different isomorphism classes,the good Hamiltonians do not mix blocks.Thus every H ∈H is a direct sum over blocks,and the structure analysis of H can be carried out for each block B λseparately.If V λis infinite-dimensional,then to have good mathematical control we truncate to a finite-dimensional space V λ⊂V λand form the associated block B λ⊂W .The truncation is done in such a way that B λis a G -representation space and is Nambu.The goal now is to compute the space of Hermitian operators on B λwhich commute with the G -action and respect the canonical symmetric C -bilinear form b induced from that on V ⊕V ∗;such a space of operators realizes what is called a symmetry class .SYMMETRY CLASSES OF DISORDERED FERMIONS5 For this,certain spaces of G0-equivariant homomorphisms play an essential role, i.e.,linear maps S:V1→V2between G0-representation spaces which satisfyρ2(g)◦S=S◦ρ1(g)for all g∈G0,whereρi:G0→U(V i),i=1,2,are the respective representations.If it is clear which representations are at hand,we often simply write g◦S=S◦g or S=gSg−1.Thus we regard the space Hom G0(V1,V2)of equivariant homomorphisms as thespace of G0-fixed vectors in the space Hom(V1,V2)of all linear maps.If V1=V2=V,then these spaces are denoted by End G0(V)and End(V)respectively.Roughly speaking,there are two steps for computing the relevant spaces of Hermi-tian operators.First,the block Bλis replaced by an analogous block Hλof G0-equi-variant homomorphisms from afixed representation space Rλof isomorphism classλand/or its dual R∗λto Bλ.The space Hλcarries a canonical form(called either s or a)which is induced from b.As the notation indicates,although the original bilinear form on Bλis symmetric,this induced form is either symmetric or alternating.Change of parity occurs in the most interesting case when there is a G0-equivariantisomorphismψ:Rλ→R∗λ.In that case there exists a bilinear form Fψ:Rλ×Rλ→Cdefined by Fψ(r,t)=ψ(r)(t),which is either symmetric or alternating.In a certain sense the form b is a product of Fψand a canonical form on Hλ.Thus,if Fψis alternating,then the canonical form on Hλmust also be alternating.After transferring to the space Hλ,in addition to the canonical bilinear form s or a we have a unitary structure and conjugation by one or two distinguished time-reversal symmetries.Such a symmetry T may be mixing or not,and both T2=Id and T2=−Id are possible.The second main step of our work is to understand these various cases, each of which is directly related to a classical symmetric space of compact type.Such are given by a classical Lie algebra g which is either su n,usp2n,or so n(R).In the notation of symmetric spaces we have the following situation.Let g be the Lie algebra of antihermitian endomorphisms of Hλwhich are isometries(in the sense of Lie algebra elements)of the induced complex bilinear form b=s or b=a.This is of compact type,because it is the intersection of the Lie algebra of the unitary group of Hλand the complex Lie algebra of the group of isometries of b.Conjugation by the antiunitary mapping T defines an involutionθ:g→g.The good Hamiltonians(restricted to the reduced block Hλ)are the Hermitian oper-ators h∈i g such that at the level of group action the one-parameter groups e−i th satisfy T e−i th=e+i th T,i.e.,i h∈g must anticommute with T.Equivalently,if g=k⊕p is the decomposition of g intoθ-eigenspaces,the space of operators which is to be computed is the(−1)-eigenspace p.The space of good Hamiltonians restricted to Hλthen is i p. Since the appropriate action of the Lie group K(with Lie algebra k)on this space is just conjugation,one identifies i p with the tangent space g/k of an associated symmetric space G/K of compact type.It should be underlined that there is more than one symmetric space associated to a Cartan decomposition g=k⊕p.We are most interested in the one consisting of the6P.HEINZNER,A.HUCKLEBERRY&M.R.ZIRNBAUERphysical time-evolution operators e−i th;if G(not to be confused with the symmetry group G)is the semisimple and simply connected Lie group with Lie algebra g,this is given as the image of the compact symmetric space G/K under the Cartan embedding into G defined by g K→gθ(g)−1,whereθ:G→G is the induced group involution. The following mathematical result is a conseqence of the detailed classification work in Sects.3,4and5.Theorem1.1.—The symmetric spaces which occur under these assumptions are ir-reducible classical symmetric spaces g/k of compact type.Conversely,every irre-ducible classical symmetric space of compact type occurs in this way.We emphasize that here the notion symmetric space is appliedflexibly in the sense that depending on the circumstances it could mean either the infinitesimal model g/k or the Cartan-embedded compact symmetric space G/K.Theorem1.1settles the question of symmetry classes in disordered fermion systems; in fact every physics example is handled by one of the situations above.The paper is organized as follows.In Sect.2,starting from physical considerations we motivate and develop the model that serves as the basis for subsequent mathemati-cal work.Sect.3proves a number of results which are used to eliminate the group of unitary symmetries G0.The main work of classification is given in Sect.4and Sect.5. In Sect.4we handle the case where at most one distinguished time-reversal operator is present,and in Sect.5the case where there are two.There are numerous situations that must be considered,and in each case we precisely describe the symmetric space which occurs.Various examples taken from the physics literature are listed in Sect.6, illustrating the general classification theory.2.Disordered fermions with symmetries‘Fermions’is the physics name for the elementary particles which all matter is made of.The goal of the present article is to establish a symmetry classification of Hamilto-nians which are quadratic in the fermion creation and annihilation operators.To mo-tivate this restriction,note that any Hamiltonian for fermions at the fundamental level is of Dirac type;thus it is always quadratic in the fermion operators,albeit with time-dependent coefficients that are themselves operators.At the nonrelativistic or effective level,quadratic Hamiltonians arise in the Hartree-Fock mean-field approximation for metals and the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approximation for superconductors.By the Landau-Fermi liquid principle,such mean-field or noninteracting Hamiltonians give an adequate description of physical reality at very low temperatures.In the present section,starting from a physical framework,we develop the appropri-ate model that will serve as the basis for the mathematical work done later on.Please be advised that disorder,though advertised in the title of the section and in the title of paper,will play no explicit role here.Nevertheless,disorder(and/or chaos)are theSYMMETRY CLASSES OF DISORDERED FERMIONS7 indispensable agents that must be present in order to remove specific and nongeneric features from the physical system and make a classification by basic symmetries mean-ingful.In other words,what we carry out in this paper is thefirst step of a two-step program.Thisfirst step is to identify in the total space of Hamiltonians some lin-ear subspaces that are relevant(in Dyson’s sense)from a symmetry perspective.The second step is to put probability measures on these spaces and work out the disor-der averages and statistical correlation functions of interest.It is this latter step that ultimately justifies thefirst one and thus determines the name of the game.2.1.The Nambu space model for fermions.—The starting point for our considera-tions is the formalism of second quantization.Its relevant aspects will now be reviewed so as to introduce the key physical notions as well as the proper mathematical language. Let i=1,2,bel an orthonormal set of quantum states for a single fermion. Second quantizing the many-fermion system means to associate with each i a pair of operators c†i and c i,which are called fermion creation and annihilation operators, respectively,and are related to each other by an operation of Hermitian conjugation †:c i→c†i.They are subject to the canonical anticommutation relationsc†i c†j+c†j c†i=0,c i c j+c j c i=0,c†i c j+c j c†i=δi j,(2.1) for all i,j.They act in a Fock space,i.e.,in a vector space with a distinguished vec-tor,called the‘vacuum’,which is annihilated by all of the operators c i(i=1,2,...). Applying n creation operators to the vacuum one gets a state vector for n fermions.A field operatorψis a linear combination of creation and annihilation operators,ψ=∑i v i c†i+f i c i ,with complex coefficients v i and f i.To put this in mathematical terms,let V be the complex Hilbert space of single-fermion states.(We do not worry here about complications due to the dimension of V being infiter rigorous work will be carried out in thefinite-dimensional setting.) Fock space then is the exterior algebra∧V=C⊕V⊕∧2V⊕...,with the vacuum being the one-dimensional subspace of constants.Creating a single fermion amounts to exterior multiplication by a vector v∈V and is denoted byε(v):∧n V→∧n+1V.To annihilate a fermion,one contracts with an element f of the dual space V∗.In other words,one applies the antiderivationι(f):∧n V→∧n−1V given byι(f)·1=0,ι(f)v=f(v),ι(f)(v1∧v2)=f(v1)v2−f(v2)v1,etc.In that mathematical framework the canonical anticommutation relations readε(v)ε(˜v)+ε(˜v)ε(v)=0,ι(f)ι(˜f)+ι(˜f)ι(f)=0,(2.2)ι(f)ε(v)+ε(v)ι(f)=f(v).8P.HEINZNER,A.HUCKLEBERRY&M.R.ZIRNBAUERThey can be viewed as the defining relations of an associative algebra,the so-called Clifford algebra C(W),which is generated by the vector space W:=V⊕V∗over C. This vector space W is sometimes referred to as Nambu space in physics.Since we only consider Hamiltonians that are quadratic in the creation and annihi-lation operators,we will be able to reduce the second-quantized formulation on∧V to standard single-particle quantum mechanics,albeit on the Nambu space W carrying some extra structure.Note that W is isomorphic to the space offield operatorsψ.On W=V⊕V∗there exists a canonical symmetric C-bilinear form b defined by b(v+f,˜v+˜f)=f(˜v)+˜f(v)=∑i(f i˜v i+˜f i v i).The significance of this bilinear form in the present context lies in the fact that it en-codes on W the canonical anticommutation relations(2.1),or(2.2).Indeed,we can view afield operatorψ=∑i(v i c†i+f i c i)either as a vectorψ=v+f∈V⊕V∗,or equivalently as a degree-one operatorψ=ε(v)+ι(f)in the Clifford algebra acting on∧V.Adopting the operator perspective,we get from(2.2)thatψ˜ψ+˜ψψ=f(˜v)+˜f(v)=∑i f i˜v i+˜f i v i .Switching to the vector perspective we have the same answer from b(ψ,˜ψ).Thusψ˜ψ+˜ψψ=b(ψ,˜ψ).Definition2.1.—In the Nambu space model for fermions one identifies the space offield operatorsψwith the complex vector space W=V⊕V∗equipped with its canonical unitary structure , and canonical symmetric complex bilinear form b. Remark.—Having already expounded the physical origin of the symmetric bilinear form b,let us now specify the canonical unitary structure of W.The complex vector space V,being isomorphic to the Hilbert space of single-particle states,comes with a Hermitian scalar product(or unitary structure) , V.Given , V define a C-antilinear bijection C:V→V∗byCv= v,· V,and extend this to an antilinear transformation C:W→W by the requirement C2=Id. Thus C|V∗=(C|V)−1.The operator C is called particle-hole conjugation in physics. Using C,transfer the unitary structure from V to V∗in the natural way:f,˜f V∗:=SYMMETRY CLASSES OF DISORDERED FERMIONS9Proof .—Given an orthonormal basis c †1,c 1,c †2,c 2,...this is immediate from C ∑i (v i c †i +f i c i )=∑i (¯v i c i +¯f i c †i )and the expressions for , and b in components.Returning to the physics way of telling the story,consider the most general Hamilto-nian H which is quadratic in the single-fermion creation and annihilation operators.Assuming H to be Hermitian,using the canonical anticommutation relations (2.1),and omitting an additive constant (which is of no consequence in physics)this has the form H =12∑i jB i j c †i c †j +¯B i j c j c i ,where A i j =¯Aji (from H =H †)and B i j =−B ji (from c i c j =−c j c i ).The Hamiltonians H act on the field operators ψby the commutator,ψ→[H ,ψ]≡H ψ−ψH ,and the time evolution is determined by the Heisenberg equation of motion,−i ¯h d ψ¯h A B −¯B−¯A.To recast all this in concise terms,we need some further mathematical background.Notwithstanding the fact that in practice we always consider the Fock space represen-tation C (W )→End (∧V )by w =v +f →ε(v )+ι(f ),it should be stated that the primary (or universal)definition of the Clifford algebra C (W )is as the associative algebra generated by W ⊕C with relationsw 1w 2+w 2w 1=b (w 1,w 2)×Id(w 1,w 2∈W ).(2.3)The Clifford algebra is graded byC (W )=C 0(W )⊕C 1(W )⊕C 2(W )⊕...,where C 0(W )≡C ,C 1(W )∼=W ,and C n (W )for n ≥2is the linear space of skew-symmetrized degree-n monomials in the elements of W .In particular,C 2(W )is the linear space of skew-symmetric quadratic monomials w 1w 2−w 2w 1(w 1,w 2∈W ).From the Clifford algebra perspective,a quadratic Hamiltonian H is viewed as an operator in the degree-two component C 2(W ).Let us therefore gather some standard facts about C 2(W ).First among these is that C 2(W )is a complex Lie algebra with10P.HEINZNER,A.HUCKLEBERRY&M.R.ZIRNBAUERthe commutator playing the role of the Lie bracket(an exposition of this fact for the case of a Clifford algebra over R is found in[B3];the complex case is no different). Second,in addition to acting on itself by the commutator,the Lie algebra C2(W) acts(still by the commutator)on all of the components C k(W)of degree k≥1of the Clifford algebra C(W).In particular,C2(W)acts on C1(W).Third,C2(W)turns out to be canonically isomorphic to the complex orthogonal Lie algebra so(W,b)which is associated with the vector space W=V⊕V∗and its canonical symmetric complex bilinear form b;this Lie algebra so(W,b)is defined to be the subspace of elements E∈End(W)satisfying the conditionb(Ew1,w2)+b(w1,Ew2)=0(for all w1,w2∈W).The canonical isomorphism C2(W)→so(W,b)is given by the commutator action of C2(W)on C1(W)∼=W,i.e.,by sending a∈C2(W)to[a,·]=E∈End(W);the latter indeed lies in so(W,b)as follows from the expression for b(Ew1,w2)+b(w1,Ew2) given by the canonical anticommutation relations(2.3),from the Jacobi identity [a,w1]w2+w2[a,w1]+w1[a,w2]+[a,w2]w1=[a,w1w2+w2w1],and from the fact that w1w2+w2w1lies in the center of the Clifford algebra.To describe so(W,b)explicitly,decompose the endomorphisms E∈End(V⊕V∗) into blocks asE= A B C D ,where A∈End(V),B∈Hom(V∗,V),C∈Hom(V,V∗)and D∈End(V∗).Let the adjoint(or transpose)of A∈End(V)be denoted by A t∈End(V∗),and call an element C in Hom(V,V∗)skew if C t=−C,i.e.,if(C v1)(v2)=−(C v2)(v1).Proposition2.3.—An endomorphism E= A B C D ∈End(V⊕V∗)lies in the com-plex orthogonal Lie algebra so(V⊕V∗,b)if and only if B,C are skew and D=−A t. Proof.—Considerfirst the case B=C=0,and let D=−A t.Thenb E(v+f),˜v+˜f =b(A v−A t f,˜v+˜f)=˜f(A v)−A t f(˜v)=A t˜f(v)−f(A˜v)=−b(v+f,A˜v−A t˜f)=−b v+f,E(˜v+˜f) .Using B t=−B and C t=−C,a similar calculation for the case A=0givesb E(v+f),˜v+˜f =b(B f+C v,˜v+˜f)=C v(˜v)+˜f(B f)=−f(B˜f)−C˜v(v)=−b(v+f,B˜f+C˜v)=−b v+f,E(˜v+˜f) . Since these two cases complement each other,we see that the stated conditions on E∈End(W)are sufficient in order for E to be in so(W,b).The calculation can equally well be read backwards;thus the conditions are both sufficient and necessary.SYMMETRY CLASSES OF DISORDERED FERMIONS11 Let us now make the connection to physics,where C(W)is represented on Fock space and the elements v+f=w∈W becomefield operatorsψ=ε(v)+ι(f).Fixing orthonormal bases c†1,c†2,...of V and c1,c2,...of V∗as before,we assign matrices with matrix elements A i j,B i j,C i j to the linear operators A,B,C.A straightforward computation using the canonical anticommutation relations then yields: Proposition2.4.—The inverse of the Lie algebra automorphism C2(W)→so(W,b) is the C-linear mapping given byA B C−A t →12∑i j(B i j c†i c†j+C i j c i c j).Now recall that C2(W)acts on the degree-one component C1(W)by the commuta-tor.By the isomorphisms C2(W)∼=so(W,b)and C1(W)∼=W,this action coincides with the fundamental representation of so(W,b)on its defining vector space W.In other words,taking the commutator of the Hamiltonian H∈C2(W)with afield op-eratorψ∈C1(W)yields the same answer as viewing H as an element of so(W,b), then applying H= A B C−A t to the vectorψ=v+f∈W byH·(v+f)=(A v+B f)+(C v−A t f),andfinally reinterpreting the result as afield operator in C1(W).The closure relation[C2(W),C1(W)]⊂C1(W)and the isomorphism C1(W)∼= W make it possible to reduce the dynamics offield operators to a dynamics on the Nambu space W.After reduction,as we have seen,the generators X∈End(V⊕V∗) of time evolutions of the physical system are of the special formiX=。

Many good accounts of it appeared in the literature(see for example[2],[6]or[1]).In this section we will state the basic definitions that will allow us to give some known properties of normal surface.We will then go on to explore how normal surfaces interact with boundary patterns.The section will be concluded with a discussion of some well known features of incompressible surfaces in Seifertfibred manifolds.We are assuming throughout that all3-manifolds we are dealing with are orientable.Let T be a triangulation of a3-manifold M.An arc in a2-simplex of T is normal if its ends lie in different sides of a2-simplex.A simple closed curve in the2-skeleton of T is a normal curve if it intersects each2-simplex of T in normal arcs.A properly embedded surface F in M is in normal form with respect to T if it intersects each tetrahedron in T in a collection of discs all of whose boundaries are normal curves consisting of3or4normal arcs,i.e.triangles and quadrilaterals.A normal discs is a triangle or a quadrilateral.There are precisely seven normal disc types in any tetrahedron of T.An isotopy of M is called a normal isotopy with respect to T if it leaves all simplices of T invariant.In particular this implies that it isfixed on the vertices of T.A normal surface is determined,up to normal isotopy,by the number of normal disc types in which it meets the tetrahedra of T.It therefore defines a vector with7t coordinates.Each coordinate represents the number of copies of a normal disc type that are contained in the surface with t being the number of tetrahedra in T.It turns out that there is a certain restricted linear system that such a vector is a solution of.Moreover there is a one to one correspondence between the solutions of that restricted linear system and normal surface in M.If the sum of two vector solutions of this system satisfies the restrictions on the system,then it represents a normal surface in M.On the other hand there is a geometric process called regular alteration(seefigure2in[1]) which can be carried out on the normal surfaces representing the summands and which yields the2normal surface corresponding to the sum.It follows directly from the definition of regular alteration that the Euler characteristic is additive over normal addition.We can define the weight w(F)of a surface F,which is transverse to the1-skeleton of T,to be the number of points of intersection between the surface and the1-skeleton.Since regular alteration only changes the surfaces involved away from the1-skeleton,the weight too is additive over normal addition.A normal surface is called fundamental if the vector corresponding to it is not a sum of two integral solutions of the linear system.The solution space of the linear system projects down to a compact convex linear cell which is called the projective solution space.A vertex surface is a connected two-sided normal surface that projects onto a vertex of the projective solution space (see[6]for a more detailed description).The next proposition is proved in[2].It will be important for us that its proof does not de-pend on the number of equations in the linear system arising from the triangulation of the manifold. Proposition2.1Let M be a compact triangulated3-manifold containing t tetrahedra.Then each normal coordinate of a vertex surface in M is bounded above by27t.If the normal surface is fundamental,then7t27t puts an upper bound on all of its normal coordinates.Recall that a properly embedded surface F in a3-manifold M is injective if the homomorphism π1(F)→π1(M),induced by the inclusion of F into M,is a monomorphism.A surface F is said to be incompressible if it satisfies the following conditions:•The surface F does not contain2-spheres that bound3-balls nor does it contain discs which are isotopic rel boundary to discs in∂M and•for every disc D in M with D∩S=∂D there is a disc D′in S with∂D=∂D′.A horizontal boundary of an I-bundle over a surface is a part of the boundary corresponding to the∂I-bundle.The vertical boundary is a complement of the horizontal boundary and consists of annuli thatfibre over the bounding circles of the base surface.It is a well-known fact that a properly embedded one-sided surface in M is injective if and only if the horizontal boundary of its regular neighbourhood is incompressible.An embedded torus in M that is incompressible and is not boundary parallel is sometimes referred to as an essential torus.There is also a relative notion of incompressibility which we will need to consider.A surface F is∂-incompressible if for each disc D in M such that∂D splits into two arcsαandβmeeting only at their common endpoints,with D∩F=αand D∩∂M=βthere is a disc D′in F with α⊂∂D′and∂D′−α⊂∂F.Such a disc D is called a∂-compression disc for F.Note that if the manifold M is irreducible and has incompressible boundary,then we can isotope F relαso that the disc D′becomes the∂-compression disc D.A properly embedded annulus in M that is both incompressible and∂-incompressible is called an essential annulus.Before we can state the main technical results from normal surface theory,we need to define a very useful concept.Definition.A boundary pattern P in a compact3-manifold M is a(possibly empty)collection of disjoint simple closed curves and trivalent graphs embedded in∂M such that the surface∂M−P is incompressible in M.Boundary patterns usually appear in the context of hierarchies.In this paper however we will mainly be concerned with a special case when the pattern P consists of simple closed curves only.Therefore we will not investigate the correspondence between hierarchies and patterns any further.Notice also that it follows from the definition of the pattern that any simple closed curve component of P is homotopically non-trivial in∂M.Let M be a3-manifold with non-empty boundary that contains a boundary pattern P.It follows from the definition that the pattern P can be empty if and only if the manifold M has incompressible boundary.Assume now that the pattern P is not empty.A subset of M is pure if it has empty intersection with the pattern P.Most concepts from general3-manifolds carry over to3-manifolds with pattern in a very natural way.For example,a properly embedded surface F in3-manifold M with pattern P is P-boundary incompressible if for any pure disc D in M,such that D∩(∂M∪F)=∂D and D∩F is a single arc in F,the arc D∩F cuts offa pure disc from F.3Notice that for P=∅this notion reduces to∂-incompressibility.Also this notion is well defined only up to an isotopy of M that is invariant on the pattern P.In other words we can have two isotopic surfaces in M,out of which only one is P-boundary incompressible.Let T be some triangulation of a3-manifold M with pattern P.Throughout this paper we will be assuming that the pattern P lies in the1-skeleton of T.This assumption immediately implies that any incompressible P-boundary incompressible surface in M can be isotoped into normal form. Also any normal surface F in M has a well defined intersection numberι(F),equal to the number of points in∂F∩P.Moreover this intersection number is additive over geometric sums of normal surfaces.We say that a surface F in a3-manifold M with pattern P has minimal weight if it can not be isotoped to a surface with lower weight by an isotopy that is invariant on the pattern.In case of P=∅this reduces to the usual definition of a minimal weight.An incompressible P-boundary incompressible surface in M of minimal weight has to intersect each triangle in the2-skeleton of T in normal arcs and possibly some simple closed curves.If M is irreducible we can remove these simple closed curves by isotopies in the usual way.The isotoped surface is then in normal form.The sum F=F1+F2is in reduced form if the number of components of F1∩F2is minimal among all normal surfaces F′1and F′2isotopic rel P to F1and F2respectively such that F=F′1+F′2.If the pattern P is empty we get the familiar notion of reduced form which was used in[1].We are now going to define a concept which will be of some significance to all that follows.Definition.A patch for the normal sum F=F1+F2is a component of F1−int(N(F1∩F2)) or F2−int(N(F1∩F2)).A trivial patch is a pure patch which is topologically a disc and whose boundary intersects only one component of the1-manifold F1∩F2.This means that a boundary of a trivial patch is either a single simple closed curve in F1∩F2or it consists of two arcs:one in(∂M)−P and the other in F1∩F2.Thefirst possibility coincides with what was called a disc-patch in[1].In the absence of pattern the notion of the trivial patch coincides with what is called a disc-patch in[6].The reason for our slightly non-standard terminology is to avoid the confusion arising from the patches which are discs but are not disc-patches.There are several ways in which a disc patch(i.e.a patch which is a disc)can fail to be trivial,if∂M is not empty.Clearly a disc patch which intersects the pattern P is non-trivial.A pure disc patch will also be non-trivial if it intersects∂M in more than one arc.It is not hard to prove that a trivial patch can not have zero weight.The argument of lemma 3.3in[1]gives it to us for all trivial patches bounded by simple closed curve components of F1∩F2. In case when our disc patch is bounded by two arcs,we can use a simple doubling trick and then apply lemma3.3from[1]to obtain the desired conclusion.However there are patches that are topologically discs and have zero weight.But they must contain more than one component of F1∩F2in their boundaries.Now we arefinally in the position to state the following lemma. Lemma2.2Let M be an irreducible3-manifold with a(possibly empty)boundary pattern P.Let F be a minimal weight incompressible P-boundary incompressible normal surface.If the sum F= F1+F2is in reduced form then each patch is both incompressible and P-boundary incompressible and no patch is trivial.Furthermore if F is injective,then each patch has to be injective.This lemma is a mild generalisation of both lemma3.6in[1]and lemma6.6in[6].Even though patches are not properly embedded surfaces in M the notions of P-boundary incompressibility and injectivity can be naturally extended to this setting.Note also that if P=∅,the manifold M has incompressible boundary,the surface F is boundary incompressible and so are the patches of F=F1+F2.Proof.We start by reducing the lemma to the statement that no patch of F1+F2is trivial.In case we have a patch which is either compressible or not injective,we can argue in precisely the same way as in the proof of lemma3.6of[1]to obtain a disc patch whose boundary is a single simple closed curve from F1∩F2and is therefore trivial.If there is a patch R of F1+F2which has a pure boundary compressing disc D,then we can assume without loss of generality that D is also a boundary compressing disc for the surface F.4Then the unique arc D∩R=D∩F cuts offa pure disc D′in F.If D′contains a simple closed curve of F1∩F2,then we canfind a compressible patch of F1+F2and we are in the previous case. If there are no simple closed curves of F1∩F2in D′,then the edge most arc from F1∩F2in D′cuts offa pure disc patch which is clearly trivial.So it is enough to prove that no trivial patch exists.If there exists a disc patch in F1+F2bounded by a single simple closed curve from F1∩F2,we can use an identical argument to the one in the proof of lemma3.6in[1]to construct two normal surfaces F′and S such that F=F′+S.F′is isotopic to F and S is a closed normal surface withχ(S)=w(S)=0.This is clearly a contradiction because no normal surface can miss the 1-skeleton.Also by our hypothesis the surface F might be only incompressible and not necessarily injective.So in order to use the argument from[1]which shows that every simple closed curve in F1∩F2,bounding a trivial patch,has to be two-sided in both F1and F2,we need to note that when M equals R P3,every embedded projective plane in M is actually injective.So now we can assume that F1+F2contains no disc patch disjoint from∂M.Let D be a trivial patch,lying in F1say,which has least weight among all trivial patches in F1+F2.The intersection D∩F2consists of a unique arcαthat is a component of F1∩F2.After regular alterationαproduces two properly embedded arcs in F one of which cuts offa pure disc D′from F.This is because F is P-boundary incompressible.Disc D′is distinct from but might contain the trivial patch D.We must have w(D′)=w(D).Otherwise we could isotope F,by an isotopy invariant on the pattern,so that its weight is decreased.Since D minimises the weight of all trivial patches(which is strictly positive)and D′must contain at least one such,there is exactly one trivial patch in D′and its weight is equal to w(D).Every other patch in D′is topologically a disc whose boundary consists of4arcs.Two of them are in∂M and the other two are components of F1∩F2.If D′was itself a patch then we could isotope F1and F2,using the definition of the pattern P and the irreducibility of M,to obtain normal surfaces F′1and F′2still summing up to F but having fewer components of intersection.This contradicts our assumption on the reduced form of F1+F2.So D′is not itself a trivial patch,but it has to contain one.Now we can imitate the argument in the proof of lemma3.6from[1]to obtain a normal sum F=A+F′where F′is a normal surface isotopic to F and A is a pure normal annulus of zero weight.Since no normal surface can live in the complement of the1-skeleton,this gives afinal contradiction.2 Another crucial fact from normal surface theory,tying up normal addition with the topological properties of surfaces involved,is contained in the next theorem.It appeared several times in the literature in slightly different forms.The version that is of interest to us is the following.Theorem2.3Let M be an irreducible3-manifold with a possibly empty boundary pattern P.Let F be a least weight normal surface properly embedded in M.Assume also that F is two-sided incompressible P-boundary incompressible and F=F1+F2.Then F1and F2are incompressible and P-boundary incompressible.The proof of this theorem can be obtained by using lemma2.2and following(verbatim)the proof of theorem6.5in[6].Before we state a further consequence of theorem2.3,we need the following simple fact from topology.Lemma2.4Let M be an irreducible3-manifold with incompressible boundary.Assume also that M is neither homeomorphic to the product S1×S1×I,nor to an I-bundle over a Klein bottle. Let S be a toral boundary component of M.If A and B are two properly embedded incompressible ∂-incompressible annuli in M such that at least one boundary component of both annuli lies in S, then these bounding simple closed curves must be isotopic in S,i.e.they determine the same slope in S.Proof.We start by isotoping the annuli A and B so that their intersection is minimal.If A∩B is either empty or it consists only of essential simple closed curves,then the boundary curves must5be parallel in S.So we can assume that∂A∩∂B is non-empty.This implies that the boundary slopes of∂A and∂B in S are distinct.Therefore the complement S−(∂A∪∂B)is a disjoint union of disc.Since both A and B are incompressible and∂-incompressible,the intersection contains neither contractible simple closed curves nor boundary parallel arcs in either of the two annuli.In other words A∩B consists of spanning arcs in both annuli.So an I-bundle structure extends from A∪B to the the regular neighbourhood N(A∪B).If the bounding circles of A lie in distinct components of∂M,then the manifold M has to be homeomorphic to S1×S1×I.This is because each annulus V in the vertical boundary of the I-bundle N(A∪B)cuts offfrom M a3-ball of the form D×I where D is one of the discs in S−(∂A∪∂B).This3-ball can not contain A∪B since both annuli are incompressible.We can therefore extend the product structure over this3-ball,thus obtaining an I-bundle over the torus S.If both components of∂A live in S,then there are two possibilities for the compressible annulus V.The dichotomy comes from the discs D1and D2in the surface S,bounded by the circles of∂V. They can either be nested,say D1⊂int(D2),or disjoint.It is clear that the annulus A is disjoint from∂V=∂D1∪∂D2.The horizontal boundary of the regular neighbourhood N(A∪B)contains an embedded arc,running from∂D1to∂A,which is disjoint from∂D2.If thefirst of the two cases were true,this would imply that at least one of the boundary components of A is contained in D2,which is clearly a contradiction.So we must have an embedded2-sphere D1∪D2∪V which bounds a3-ball D1×I,disjoint from A∪B,like before.Adjoining all these solid cylinders to N(A∪B)makes our manifold M into an I-bundle with a single toral boundary component.But this has to be an I-bundle over a closed non-orientable surface of Euler characteristic zero,i.e.a Klein bottle.This concludes the proof.2A very useful consequence of theorem2.3that deals with orientable surfaces in M with zero Euler characteristic is contained in proposition2.5.Most of it is a direct consequence of corollary 6.8in[6].Proposition2.5Let M be an irreducible3-manifold with incompressible boundary that contains either an essential torus or an essential annulus.Let T be the triangulation of M.Then the following holds:(a)If A is a least weight normal representative(with respect to T)in an isotopy class of anessential torus in M,then every vertex surface in the face of the projective solution space that carries A is an essential torus.(b)Let A be a least weight essential annulus in M that is normal with respect to the triangula-tion T.Then there exists a vertex surface in M that is an essential annulus.If the boundary of M consists of tori only and if M is neither S1×S1×I nor an I-bundle over a Klein bottle,then the boundary of the vertex annulus is parallel to the boundary of A in∂M. Proof.Since vertex surfaces are two-sided by definition,(a)is just restating corollary6.8in[6].In (b)at least one of the vertex surfaces in the face of projective solution space has to be an annulus. In fact,by theorem2.3,it has to be an essential annulus.Assume now that M has toral boundary.All vertex annuli in the face of the projective solution space that carries A must have their respective boundaries lying in precisely the components of ∂M that contain∂A.Since all these vertex annuli are essential we can apply lemma2.4andfinish the proof.2 We will conclude this section by a short discussion of incompressible surfaces in Seifertfibred manifolds.A surface in a Seifertfibred space M→B is called vertical if it can be expressed as a union of regularfibres.So the only possibilities are a torus,a Klein bottle or an annulus.Moebius band does not come into the picture because the generator of its fundamental group can not be a regularfibre in M.On the other hand the surface that is transverse to allfibres in M is called horizontal.The following proposition says roughly that every essential surface in M→B has to be either vertical or horizontal.6Proposition2.6Let S be an incompressible∂-incompressible surface in a3-manifold M.Then the following holds:(a)Assume further that M→B is an irreducible Seifertfibred space,possibly containing nosingularfibres,over a(perhaps non-orientable)compact surface B.If S is two-sided and if it contains no singularfibres of M,then it is isotopic to either a vertical surface or a horizontal surface.(b)Let M→B be an S1-bundle over a(perhaps non-orientable)compact bounded surface B.If S is a one-sided,i.e.non-orientable,surface in M,then it is isotopic to either a vertical or a horizontal surface.It should be noted that(b)of proposition2.6actually fails if the base surface B is closed.It is not hard to see that the lens space L(2n,1),whichfibres as an S1-bundle over S2with Euler number2n,contains an incompressible surface homeomorphic to a connected sum of n projective planes.Such a surface can not be vertical because of its Euler characteristic,but it can also not be horizontal since the Euler number of our S1-bundle does not vanish.Also notice that the statement (b)for two-sided surfaces is already contained in(a).Proof.If the surface S contained a disc component,then,by the definition of incompressibility,∂M would have to compress.Since M is irreducible,this would make it into a solid torus.The surface S is then a disjoint collection of compression discs which is horizontal in anyfibration of the solid torus.So from now on we can assume that S contains no disc components.Part(a)of the proposition is a well-known fact about two-sided incompressible∂-incompressible surfaces(which contain no disc components)in Seifertfibred spaces.Its proof can be found in[5] (theorem VI.34).We shall now prove part(b).Let M→B be an S1-bundle over a compact bounded surface B.Choose disjoint arcs in B whose union decomposes B into a single disc.Let A be a union of disjoint vertical annuli in M that are the preimages of the collection of arcs under the bundle projection.Without loss of generality we can assume that the surface S was isotoped in M so that the number of components of S∩A is minimal.Then there are no simple closed curves in S∩A that are homotopically trivial in either S or A,because such curves can be used to reduce the number of components in S∩A(here we are using the fact that every bounded S1-bundle is irreducible). Similarly arcs in S∩A that are∂-parallel in either A or S do not occur because both surfaces are∂-incompressible and∂M is incompressible in M(otherwise M would be a solid torus and S would have to be a disc,which is not a one-sided surface).It follows now that S∩A consists only of vertical circles or horizontal arcs,i.e.spanning arcs in the annular components of A.Let M1be the solid torus M−int(N(A))and let S1be the surface M1∩S.There can be no trivial simple closed curves in(∂M)∩M1coming from∂S1,because S has no disc components.So we can conclude that∂S1consists either of horizontal or vertical circles in the torus∂M1(a horizontal simple closed curve is the one that intersects eachfibre in ∂M1transversely).The surface S1has to be incompressible in M1.Every compression disc D for S1in M1yields a disc D′in ing irreducibility of M we could isotope S(rel∂D)so that D′becomes D.If D′were not contained in S1,this move would reduce the number of pieces in S∩A.Claim.If∂S1consists of horizontal simple closed curves,then S1is a disjoint union of meridional discs in M1.It is enough to show that under the hypothesis of the claim the surface S1has to be∂-incompressible in M1.This is because the only connected incompressible∂-incompressible surface in a solid torus is its meridian disc.Assume to the contrary that S1is∂-compressible.Let D be a∂-compression disc for S1in M1.We will modify D,in a thin collar of∂M1,so that the arc D∩∂M1lies in an annulus from ∂M∩∂M1.This isotoped disc therefore lives in M and is a∂-compression disc for the surface S.Like before this leads to a contradiction,because we can use the isotoped disc to construct an isotopy in M that will reduce the number of components in S∩A.So to prove the claim we need to isotope the disc D.Letαbe the embedded arc D∩∂M1, running between two points from∂S1.Notice that∂M1is an alternating union of annuli coming7from two families:one is M 1∩∂M and the other one is M 1∩N (A ).We will now isotope αinto the interior of M 1∩∂M .Assume first that αis contained in the interior of an annulus from M 1∩N (A ).Then,since ∂S 1is horizontal in ∂M 1,the segments of ∂S 1in this annulus have to be spanning arcs.αcan either run between two distinct spanning arcs,or it can run around the annulus to hit the single spanning arc from two different sides.In either situation we can push αinto the interior of an adjacent annulus from M 1∩∂M .This isotopy can clearly be extended to the collar of ∂M 1,thus producing the desired ∂-compression disc.If,on the other hand,αis not contained in the interior of an annulus from ∂M 1,then we must somewhere have the situation as described by figure 2.of the boundary S M 1α1boundary ofannulus in disc EFigure 2:An annulus in ∂M 1containing the disc E with the following property:the intersection E ∩αis a subarc of αcontaining precisely one point from ∂α.We can construct an isotopy of α,and hence of D ,using the disc E ,that will reduce the number of points in the intersection α∩∂(M 1∩∂M ).By repeating this move we arrive at a contradiction and the claim follows.It follows directly from the claim that S 1with the horizontal boundary can be isotoped (rel ∂S 1)so that it is horizontal in the fibration of M 1.This isotopy induces an isotopy of S in M that makes it horizontal.If ∂S 1is vertical,S 1can only consist of annuli bounded by fibres of M 1.We can therefore isotope S 1(rel ∂S 1)so that it becomes vertical.This concludes the proof.23THE MAIN THEOREMLet’s start by defining precisely the class of Seifert fibred 3-manifolds that we shall consider.The manifold M has to be compact and orientable.It has to fibre into circles over a possibly non-orientable compact surface B .The case when M contains no singular fibres will also be considered.Since we are only interested in general Haken 3-manifolds,i.e.the ones that are irreducible and that contain an injective surface different from a 2-sphere,we need to exclude some Seifert fibred spaces.The ones to go first are S 1×S 2and the connected sum R P 3#R P 3since they are not irreducible (the latter manifold fibres as an S 1-bundle over a projective plane).Another obvious family that we have to disqualify are the lens spaces including the 3-sphere,because they contain no injective surfaces.Those are all Seifert fibred spaces over a 2-sphere with at most 2singular fibres.Among the spaces that contain no vertical essential tori are also manifolds that fibre over a projective plane with at most one singular fibre.Since the Klein bottle over the orientation reversing curve in R P 2is not injective,they contain no injective vertical surfaces.There are no horizontal surfaces either.The existence of such a surface would imply that the only singular fibre is of index 0。
MINI-REVIEW Novel modulators of amyloid-b precursor protein processingBor Luen Tang*and Yih Cherng Liou*Department of Biochemistry,Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and Department of BiologicalSciences,National University of Singapore,SingaporeAbstractProteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP)is modulated by the action of enzymes a-,b-and c-secretases,with the latter two mediating the amyloidogenic production of amyloid-b(A b).Cellular modulators of APP processing are well known from studies of genetic mutations (such as those found in APP and presenilins)or polymor-phisms(such as the apolipoprotein E4e-allele)that predis-poses an individual to early or late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. In recent years,several classes of molecule with modulating functions in APP processing and A b secretion have emerged. These include the neuronal Munc-18interacting proteins (Mints)/X11s,members of the reticulon family(RTN-3and RTN-4/Nogo-B),the Nogo-66receptor(NgR),the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase Pin1and the Rho family GTPases and their effectors.Mints and NgR bind to APP directly,while RTN3and Nogo-B interact with the b-secretase BACE1.Phosphorylated APP is a Pin1substrate,which binds to its phosphor-Thr668-Pro motif.These interactions by and large resulted in a reduction of A b generation both in vitro and in vivo.Inhibition of Rho and Rho-kinase(ROCK)activity may underlie the ability of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and statins to reduce A b production,a feat which could also be achieved by Rac1inhibition.Detailed understanding of the underlying mechanisms of action of these novel modulators of APP processing,as well as insights into the molecular neurological basis of how A b impairs leaning and memory,will open up multiple avenues for the therapeutic intervention of Alzheimer’s disease.Keywords:Alzheimer’s disease,amyloid-b,Munc-18inter-acting proteins,Nogo,Pin1,Rho.J.Neurochem.(2007)100,314–323.Alzheimer’s disease(AD)is the most common course of dementia in the elderly worldwide,and is not surprisingly the neurodegenerative disease that has attracted the most research focus in the past rgely idiopathic,AD has two distinct pathological features–extracellular amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles.According to the amyloid hypothesis(Hardy and Selkoe2002), extracellular plaques consist of aggregated b-amyloid(A b) peptide generated from proteolytic cleavages of the amyloid precursor protein(APP)and are the etiological agents of AD pathology.It is now known that either intracellular or extracellular soluble oligomeric forms of A b could initiate synaptic malfunctions and the onset of AD symptoms (Selkoe2002;Wirths et al.2004;Cuello2005).A b generation from APP occurs via a two-step proteolytic process involving b-and c-secretases(Haass2004;Wilquet and De Strooper2004).The b-site APP cleaving enzyme (BACE1),a member of the pepsin family of aspartyl proteases,first cleaves the ectodomain of APP to generate a membrane bound C-terminal fragment.A subsequent cleavage by the c-secretase activity further generates peptides,mainly of40or42amino acids in length,termed A b40and A b42.Both types of peptide could be found in amyloid plaques,but the latter is apparently more directly neurotoxic(Zhang et al.2002;Zou et al.2003)and has a greater propensity to aggregate.APP could also be proteo-lytically processed

neuroprotective(Mattson1994;Meziane et al.1998; Tang2005).The c-secretase activity responsible for the generation of A b from a BACE-cleaved APP is found in a complex which mediates a process of regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP;Weihofen and Martoglio2003)of several proteins, notably APP and Notch(Selkoe and Kopan2003).The complex consists of at least four proteins–presenilins(PS)-1 or-2at the catalytic core,nicastrin,anterior pharynx-defective phenotype1(APH1)and PS-enhancer2(PEN-2) (De Strooper2003;Edbauer et al.2003).c-Secretase cleavage of b-secretase-cleaved APP also releases an APP intracellular domain(AICD)fragment,with possible tran-scriptional functions(Cao and Sudhof2001,2004;V on Rotz et al.2004).Any factor that might influence A b production would very likely impinge on some aspects of APP processing and A b clearance.Known genetic predispositions to AD include mutations in APP itself and the presenilins,all of which increase A b generation or the A b42/A b40ratio(reviewed extensively by Tanzi and Bertram2005).Genetic links between AD and BACE1mutations have also been sugges-ted(Bertram and Tanzi2004).(Meta analysis performed for case-controlled BACE1’s genetic association with AD can be found at /res/com/gen/alzgene/ meta.asp?geneID=51).The e4allele of apolipoprotein E,a risk factor for late onset AD,influences A b etiology in the ageing brain,perhaps by enhancing A b oligomerization or lowering A b clearance(Huang et al.2004;Tanzi and Bertram2005).Interestingly,several diverse groups of molecules which appear unrelated to AD pathology have recently been shown to influence A b levels in vitro and in vivo.These include the neuronal Munc18-interacting protein (Mint)/X11protein,reticulon family members,the Nogo-66 receptor,the Rho family GTPases and their effectors,as well as the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase Pin1.Other than the Mints, none of the other proteins was previously known to interact with APP itself.We review and discuss below recent insights of how these proteins may influence APP processing and A b levels in the brain,as well as how thesefindings may open new therapeutic windows for AD.The APP C-terminal domain interacting proteins and APP processingThe C-terminal cytoplamic domain of APP,which could be present in the form of different proteolytic fragments released by secretases cleavages,is known collectively as the APP intracellular domain.This domain has several known inter-acting proteins(Koo2002;Kawasumi et al.2004;Russo et al.2005).Selective tyrosine phosphorylation of APP’s C-terminus may regulate its interaction with several cytosolic phosphotyrosine binding(PTB)domain or Src homology2(SH2)domain-containing proteins that are involved in cell signalling.These include the Fe65family of proteins,the Mints/X11s,mammalian Disabled,as well as the c-jun N-terminal protein kinase-interacting protein(JIP).Some of these may also bind APP in a tyrosine phosphorylation-independent manner.Fe65is an adaptor protein with a WW domain and two PTB domains.The Fe65-APP complex is known to trans-locate and signals to the nucleus transcriptionally in a manner analogous to how Notch functions(Cao and Sudhof2001, 2004;V on Rotz et al.2004).The target genes of this complex include BACE1and APP.However,tyrosine phosphorylation of Fe65itself by active c-Abl could also stimulate APP/Fe65-mediated gene transcription(Perkinton et al.2004),and there is evidence that Fe65may regulate transcription fairly independently of its interaction with APP (Yang et al.2006).c-Secretase cleavage of APP also does not appear to be required for transcriptional activation(Haass and Yankner2005).A possible role for FE65in AD pathogenesis was illustrated by increased Fe65immunoreactivity in the hippocampus of AD brain,which correlated with the severity of the disease,and which co-localized with tau proteins in neurofibrillary tangles(Delatour et al.2001).Studies in vitro had shown that Fe65over-expression in cultured cells increases A b production(Sabo et al.1999;Tanahashi and Tabira2002;Chang et al.2003),although the opposite(i.e.a reduction of A b secretion)has also been observed(Ando et al.2001;Hoe et al.2006).In a recently reported in vivo study,transgenic mice expressing human Fe65driven by the neuronal Thy1promoter were crossed with transgenic APP mutant mice carrying both the Swedish and London muta-tions(APP751SL;Santiard-Baron et al.2005).Interestingly, APP751SL/Fe65double transgenics showed a lower A b accumulation in the cerebral cortex and a lower level of APP C-terminal fragments compared with the APP751SL trans-genics.However,a reduced A b secretion was also observed in primary neuronal cultures of Fe65knockout-APP trans-genic(Tg2576)hybrids(Wang et al.2004).In another recent report,a significant decrease in brain A b42levels was observed for Fe65/Fe65L1double-knockout mice compared with wild type amongst males(but not females),while there was no significant change in A b40levels(Guenette et al. 2006).These rather contradictory results illustrate that the role of Fe65in APP processing is likely to be complicated. Fe65may modulate APP trafficking,while it is known that it also influences APP processing by a-secretases(Guenette et al.1999).Another major class of ACID interacting proteins,the Mints/X11s,consists of mammalian homologues of the Caenorhabditis elegans lin-10protein.These proteins con-tain PDZ domains in addition to the PTB domain,and neuronal isoforms amongst these have been implicated in polarized trafficking in neurons(Setou et al.2000)andNovel modulators of APP processing315Ó2006The AuthorsJournal CompilationÓ2006International Society for Neurochemistry,J.Neurochem.(2007)100,314–323synaptic vesicle exocytosis(Butz et al.1998).Over-expres-sion of X11in co-transfected non-neuronal cells changes the subcellular distribution of APP.Its immunoreactivity is found to be associated with AD plaques,but not neurofibrillary tangles(McLoughlin et al.1999).Over-expression of the neuronal isoforms of X11(X11a and X11b)had been consistently demonstrated to attenuate A b production in vitro (Borg et al.1998;Sastre et al.1998;Tomita et al.1999). More recent analyses in vivo using double transgenics of X11a(Lee et al.2003)or X11b(Lee et al.2004)and the APP Swedish mutant(APPswe)indicate that over-expression of X11s indeed decreased both A b levels and amyloid deposition.Interestingly,another recent analysis using small-interfering RNA(siRNA)-mediated silencing of X11a and X11b also demonstrated a lowering of A b levels in vitro(Xie et al.2005).These observations suggest that the effects seen with over-expression of X11s are likely to be a result of the proteins functioning in a dominant-negative fashion.The exact mechanism by which X11s reduce A b produc-tion is currently unclear.It is conceivable that the known function of X11in mediating neuronal trafficking may be applicable to both APP and BACE1,with its over-expression influencing their subcellular dynamics,transport itinerary, membrane co-localizations and consequently proteolytic processing.One possible way in which X11s might affect APP processing directly is through a previously demonstra-ted interaction with presenilin-1(Lau et al.2000).X11a over-expression has in fact been shown to rather specifically inhibit c-secretase and but not b-secretase cleavage of APP (King et al.2004).This specificity is extended by the X11 siRNA silencing data,alluded to above(Xie et al.2005), which indicated that the A b-lowering effect of X11a silencing,but not X11b silencing,occurs via attenuation of c-secretase cleavage.It is conceivable that the interaction of X11s with APP modulates its exposure to c-secretase activity and,perhaps in rather complex ways,influence its processing.The reticulons/Nogo and the Nogo-66receptor–possible roles in APP processingThe reticulons(RTNs)are a family of four membrane proteins with various spliced isoforms found in higher vertebrates.RTNs share a high degree of homology in their respective transmembrane domains-bearing C-termini.Sev-eral reticulon-like genes are also found throughout the eukaryote kingdom(Oertle et al.2003a).The endogenous functions of most reticulon family members are unknown, although both RTN1(Van de Velde et al.1994)and RTN3 (Moreira et al.1999)are interestingly brain-enriched.RTN4, or Nogo,has been under intensive investigation in recent years for its pathological role in adult myelin-associated inhibition of neurite growth and axonal regeneration after injury(Schwab2004).RTN4/Nogo has three major splice isoforms(A,B and C).The longest of which,Nogo-A,is CNS enriched and appear to inhibit neuronal regeneration via several domains(Oertle et al.2003b),acting through at least one known neuronal receptor,the Nogo-66receptor(McGee and Strittmatter2003).Nogo-B,which is not CNS-enriched, has been found to be highly expressed in cultured endothel-ial/smooth muscle cells as well as blood vessels,and was implicated in vascular homeostasis(Acevedo et al.2004). Interestingly,Nogo-A is also found to be expressed in some CNS neurons(Huber et al.2002;Liu et al.2002;Wang et al.2002).A role for RTN4/Nogo in AD or related dementia has been speculated based on its possible contributions to pathologic and compensatory plasticity in the CNS(Strittmatter2002; Teng and Tang2005).He et al.(2004)first showed evidence for possible roles of RTN family members in modulating APP processing.In a protein–protein interaction screen for BACE1interacting partners,the authors identified RTN3and RTN4B/Nogo-B in BACE1immunoprecipitate.All four RTNs could in fact be co-immunoprecipitated with BACE1 when these are simultaneously over-expressed in cells. Intriguingly,all four RTNs when over-expressed in APP-swe-expressing cultured cells significantly reduced A b secretion.Over-expression of RTN3decreases measurable BACE1activity and APP processing,whereas knockdown of RTN3increases APP processing and A b secretion.RTN3 does not bind APP directly,but its interaction with BACE1 appears to either sequester it away from APP or blocks BACE1-APP enzyme–substrate interaction.For their analysis,He et al.(2004)had focused mostly on RTN3because RTN3is found in neurons(as are BACE1and APP),and it appears to co-fractionate with BACE1in a sucrose gradient analysis of cellular membrane fractions.The cellular and physiological relevance of this RTN3–BACE1 interaction,however,deserves further scrutiny.Like all members of the reticulon family,RTN3has a dilysine motif at its C-terminus,and is largely endoplasmic reticulum-localized.Over-expression of RTN3apparently blocks transport at the early secretory pathway(Wakana et al. 2005),manifested by the dispersion of Golgi markers and a block in Golgi-endoplasmic reticulum retrograde transport. The cellular trafficking itinerary of APP and BACE1are similar.Both traverse the secretory pathway and tend to cluster within plasma membrane lipid rafts(Ehehalt et al. 2003),and could be internalized into endosomal compart-ments.The plasma membrane and endosome are presumably the major sites where APP cleavages by BACE1take place. BACE1is synthesized as a pre-pro-enzyme and is activated by a furin-like protease.It is not particularly clear how early along the exocytic pathway this activation occurs,but furin proteases are typically localized at the trans-Golgi and trans-Golgi network.In this way,both the reductions in measur-able BACE1activity and A b secretion observed in RTN3 over-expressing cells could be because of a rather non-specific block of both APP and BACE1as they traverse the316 B.L.Tang and Y.C.LiouJournal CompilationÓ2006International Society for Neurochemistry,J.Neurochem.(2007)100,314–323Ó2006The Authorsearly secretory pathway.That knockdown of RTN3in cultured cells increases A b production and appears more physiologically relevant and specific,but it is unclear if RTN3knockdown also results in a general increase in APP surface transport and secretion.It is also not known if the interaction between RTN3and BACE1has a regulatory function on the enzymatic activation of the latter by furin proteases,and whether RTN3’s modulation of BACE1 activity is substrate specific(i.e.will it also attenuate the processing of substrates other than APP?).In any case,the results of He et al.(2004)are still of considerable interest because it suggests that the activity of BACE1on APP processing could be modulated by its interaction with another membrane protein,or family of proteins.Regardless of the physiological significance of this interaction,it could poten-tially be exploited therapeutically to modulate A b secretion. Another recent report by Park et al.(2006)has demon-strated an interaction between two other proteins related to RTN3and BACE1above,namely Nogo-66receptor(NgR) and APP.The authors observed that both Nogo and NgR are mislocalized in post-mortem AD samples.APP appears to interact physically with NgR,and over-expression of NgR in N2a neuroblastoma cells reduces A b production.Import-antly,when an AD mouse double transgenic for the APPswe mutation and presenilin-1[APPswe/PSEN-1(D E9)]was crossed with NgR-null mice,the NgR-null background mice significantly increase A b levels and amyloid plaque deposition compared with wild type.Infusion of an NgR dominant-negative reagent[NgR(310)ecto-Fc]into APPswe/ PSEN-1(D E9)mice also reduced amyloid plaque deposition.A potential caveat of the results,but also a point of interest,is that NgR appears to bind many parts of the APP, including the BACE1cleavage product sAPP b and various lengths of the A b peptide.Furthermore,NgR appears to affect APP processing by both b-and a-secretases.An NgR antagonist reduces sAPP a production in culture cells as well as in mice,and levels of sAPP a are increased in the double transgenic APPswe/PSEN-1(D E9)mutant mice with an NgR-null background.These observations,while suggesting a certain degree of non-specificity with regard to APP–NgR interaction,are again interesting and useful from a therapeu-tic standpoint.The Rho family GTPases and their roles in APP processingA number of pharmacological agents,including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs;Hoozemans et al.2003; Gasparini et al.2004;Szekely et al.2004),HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors(or statins;Parvathy et al.2004;Pedrini et al.2005)andflavonoid compounds(Levites et al.2003; Colciaghi et al.2004)have been shown to be potentially beneficial in either preventing the onset,or delaying the progression,of AD.These agents could reduce A b produc-tion and amyloid load in the brain via two routes.Thefirst involves direct inhibition of c-secretase activity(Eriksen et al.2003;Weggen et al.2003).The second appears to be an emerging,but less well-understood,mechanism involving the channelling of APP towards non-amyloidogenic process-ing by a-secretase.NSAIDs had been shown to stimulate the secretion of the non-amyloidogenic sAPP a(Avramovich et al.2002).Inter-estingly,at least some of the actions of NSAIDs appear to involve Rho and its effector Rho-associated kinase(ROCK). Zhou et al.(2005)showed that NSAIDs can lower A b42 levels by inhibiting the activity of Rho through the pertur-bation of its isoprenylation.Accordingly,geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate treatment of SH-SY5Y cells expressing the APPswe mutant increased A b42production,and this was blocked by NSAIDs.A dominant-negative form of Rho (T19N),but not Cdc42or Rac1,decreased A b42,as did Rho inactivation by C3transferase,or inhibition of ROCK by Y-27632.There appears to be a clear correlation between the ability of individual NSAIDs to negatively regulate Rho activity and their A b42-lowering capacity.In relatedfindings,Pedrini et al.(2005)demonstrated, using APPswe-expressing N2a mouse neuroblastoma cells, that ROCK modulates shedding of sAPP a induced by statins.sAPP a shedding is promoted by a farnesyl transferase inhibitor,FTI-1,synergistically with statin treatment,but is reduced by arachidonic acid,which activates ROCK.A constitutively active ROCK mutant diminished sAPP a shedding from both untreated and statin-treated cells,whereas a kinase-dead ROCK mutant on its own activated sAPP a shedding,probably by functioning in a dominant-negative manner.Both NSAIDs and statins may therefore enhance sAPP a production through the attenu-ation of a signalling pathway that is modulated by Rho and ROCK.Another interesting recent result connects ROCK to amyloid deposition.Calorie restriction(CR)is known to prolong the lifespan of multiple model organisms through the activation of the Sir2/SIRT1histone deacetylase(Bordone and Guarente2005).CR in mice has also been associated with a reduction in amyloid pathology in the brain(Patel et al.2005;Wang et al.2005).An interesting study by Pasinetti and colleagues now revealed that CR-induced SIRT1expression promotes a-secretase activity,sAPP a generation,and attenuates A b generation by neurons from Tg2576mice and CHO cells expressing APPswe in culture (Qin et al.2006).This effect of SIRT1appears to be dependent on ROCK1.Accordingly,ROCK1levels are markedly reduced in the brain of CR mice,while viral-mediated expression of dominant-negative SIRT1increases ROCK1levels in Tg2576mice neurons.In contrast,a constitutively active ROCK1attenuated SIRT1-induced sAPP a generation.Constitutive expression of SIRT1in transgenic mice conversely reduced ROCK1levels,with a concomitant increase in a-secretase activity.Novel modulators of APP processing317Ó2006The AuthorsJournal CompilationÓ2006International Society for Neurochemistry,J.Neurochem.(2007)100,314–323There is some evidence that APP processing by a-secretase is also influenced by signalling from Rac,another member of the Rho family(Maillet et al2003;Robert et al. 2005).Gianni et al.(2003)had shown that over-expression of dominant-negative Rac(RacN17)mutant inhibited,while the constitutively active mutant(RacQL)enhanced,c-secretase-mediated APP processing.De´sire´et al.(2005) recently reported that a novel small molecule inhibitor of Rac,EHT1864,blocked both A b40and A b42production in SH-SY5Y cells.The drug does not seem to affect either a-secretase or BACE1,and appears to target c-secretase processing of APP via a non-competitive mechanism. Importantly,it does not affect Notch processing and was able to significantly reduce cortical A b levels after intraperi-toneal introduction into guinea pigs.The role of Rho and Rac in modulating APP processing is still far from being clear mechanistically.It is not known if NSAIDs and statins could elevate expression and/or activity of a-secretase,or they may in some manner facilitate subcellular co-localization and contact of a-secretase with APP(or attenuate that between BACE1and APP),thereby enhancing non-amyloidogenic processing.Neither APP nor a-secretases are known as direct targets of ROCK’s kinase activity.How Rac activity promotes APP processing by c-secretase is also unclear.In any case,the phamacological action of EHT1864further highlights a role for Rac in A b production,If without systemic toxicity,it may turn out to be a promising pharmacological agent for lowering brain A b load in the aged or genetically predisposed individuals,either alone or in conjunction with NSAIDs and statins.Pin1regulation of APP processingPin1is a member of the parvulin subfamily of peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases(Go¨thel and Marahiel1999).It is a highly conserved enzyme that isomerizes phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro bonds in a myriad of proteins(ranging from cell cycle regulators to signalling proteins),thereby inducing post-phosphorylation conformational changes.Such changes represent novel modes of signalling that are pivotal in the regulation of many cellular functions,and have important implications in cellular pathologies ranging from cancer to neurodegenerative diseases(reviewed extensively in Ryo et al.2003;Lu2004;Wulf et al.2005).The relationship of Pin1regulatory dysfunction and AD isfirst illustrated by Pin1’s action on tau(Lu et al.1999).Pin1binds to tau phosphorylated specifically at the Thr231-Pro site,and was shown to co-purify with paired helicalfilaments.This essentially results in a depletion of soluble Pin1in the AD brain,and sequestration of Pin1into neurofibrillary tangles. As Pin1-depletion is known to cause mitotic arrest and apoptosis(Lu et al.1996),this loss of functional Pin1even contributes to the apoptotic death of post-mitotic neurons. Pin1could in fact restore the ability of phosphorylated tau to bind microtubules and promote microtubule assembly in vitro.Conformational changes on phosphorylated tau induced by Pin1may also promote dephosphorylation by the phosphatase PP2A(Lu et al.1999;Galas et al.2006).Pin1-knockout mice showed age-dependent neurodegeneration associated with tau hyperphosphorylation,neurofibrillary tangle-like formation and motor-behavioural deficits charac-teristic of tauopathy and neuronal loss,as seen in AD(Liou et al.2003).Indeed,immunohistochemical analyses showed that Pin1co-localizes with phosphorylated tau in brain sections of human AD and other tauopathies(Ramakrishnan et al.2003).Human genetic evidence for Pin1’s role in AD progression includes associations of reduced Pin1expression resulting from Pin1promoter polymorphisms with increased risk of late-onset AD(Segat et al.2006).The action of Pin1on the processing of phosphorylated APP and its effect on A b production has,however,only recently come to light.Akiyama et al.(2005)examined the production of A b in both wild-type and Pin1-null mice,and found that both soluble and insoluble levels of A b40and A b42were significantly reduced in the Pin1-knockout mice compared with wild type.This suggests that Pin1promotes A b production in vivo.To confirm that phosphorylated Thr668-Pro of APP is responsible for Pin1binding,the authors over-expressed C99,the direct precursor of A b in cultured cells.The results obtained suggested that Pin1not only interacts with phosphorylated Thr668-Pro,but also modulates the amyloidogenic process of APP by increasing A b production.A detailed study on the role of Pin1in regulating A b production has appeared more recently (Pastorino et al.2006).However,the results are contradict-ory to that of the above.Pastorino and co-workers found that Pin1binds to a phosphorylated Thr668-Pro motif of APP both in vitro and in vivo.The authors showed by NMR spectroscopy that Pin1binding to this phosphorylated site drastically accelerates its isomerization and regulates con-formational changes of the APP intracellular domain.In CHO cells expressing wild-type APP,there appears to be substantially detectable Pin1-APP co-localizations at the plasma membrane and clathrin-coated vesicles.This co-localization strengthens the notion that Pin1could influence APP processing.In fact,over-expression of Pin1in these cells reduced A b secretion.Furthermore,a cell line derived from Pin1-null mice secretes about threefold less sAPP a compared with wild-type cells,but about sevenfold more A b. The authors performed further examinations on their Pin1-null mice pertaining to A b levels at different ages.While Pin1knockout did not significantly change soluble and insoluble A b levels at2–6months of age(when neuropathy is not yet detectable),levels of insoluble A b42were increased by32%in15-month-old Pin1-null mice compared with wild type.Crossing both the Pin1-wild type and Pin1-null mice with the APP Swe transgenic line Tg2576revealed that insoluble A b42is markedly elevated(by46%)in the Pin1-null background compared with Pin1-wild type.This A b42is318 B.L.Tang and Y.C.LiouJournal CompilationÓ2006International Society for Neurochemistry,J.Neurochem.(2007)100,314–323Ó2006The Authors。

It is unclear whether there is a causal association between unsaturated fatty acids and IBD. Aims: A two ⁃sample Mendelian randomization analysis was used to explore the causal association between unsaturated fatty acids and IBD. Methods: The data of the genome⁃wide association study (GWAS) of unsaturated fatty acids and IBD were obtained from web ⁃based public databases. Two ⁃sample Mendelian randomization analysis was performed by using inverse⁃variance weighted analysis, and weight median estimator and MR⁃Egger regression were conducted to validate the association of the causal effect. The causality of unsaturated fatty acids on the risk of IBDwas evaluated by OR and 95% CI . Results: No direct causal association was found between ω⁃6 fatty acids and CD, and a direct causal association was found with UC. Inverse⁃variance weighted analysis showed a 16% increase in the risk of UC for each standard deviation increase in ω⁃6 fatty acid gene levels (OR =1.16, 95% CI : 1.00⁃1.36, P =0.04). However, no causal association was found between ω⁃3 fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and IBD. Conclusions: ω⁃6 fatty acids may be onlycausally associated with UC, and no causal association is found between ω⁃3 fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and IBD.Key words Fatty Acids, Unsaturated; Fatty Acids, Omega⁃6; Inflammatory Bowel Disease; Colitis, Ulcerative; Crohn Disease; Mendelian Randomization AnalysisDOI : 10.3969/j.issn.1008⁃7125.2023.01.003*基金项目:新疆维吾尔自治区自然科学基金杰出青年科学基金项目(2022D01E25)炎症性肠病(inflammatory bowel disease, IBD )是一种免疫介导的胃肠道慢性炎症性疾病,包括溃疡性结肠炎(ulcerative colitis, UC )和克罗恩病(Crohn's disease, CD ),临床特征以腹痛和腹泻为主。
