Une caractérisation des variétés complexes compactes parallélisables admettant des structures affines

We classify complex compact parallelizable manifolds which admit flat torsion free holomorphic affine connections. We exhibit complex compact manifolds admitting holomorphic affine connections, but no flat torsion free holomorphic affine connections. To cite this article: S. Dumitrescu, C. R. Acad. Sci.

Exact results for noise power spectra in linear biochemical reaction networks

We present a simple method for determining the exact noise power spectra and related statistical properties for linear chemical reaction networks. The method is applied to reaction networks which are representative of biochemical processes such as gene expression. We find, for example, that a post-translational modification reaction can reduce the noise associated with gene expression. Our results also indicate how to coarse grain networks by the elimination of fast reactions. In this context we have discovered a breakdown of the sum rule which relates the noise power spectrum to the total noise. The breakdown can be quantified by a sum rule deficit, which is found to be universal, and can be attributed to the high-frequency noise in the fast reactions.     

Elements of geometric theory for functions of quaternionic variable

Based on idens in the classical complex case, in this note we present some possible ways of extension of the classical geometric function theory to functions of quaternlonic variables. An univalence result is obtained and certain kinds of starlikeness and of convexity are studied.
