    Invariant rings of the special orthogonal group have nonunimodal h -vectors

    No full text
    For K an infinite field of characteristic other than two, consider the action of the special orthogonal group SOt(K) on a polynomial ring via copies of the regular representation. When K has characteristic zero, Boutot's theorem implies that the invariant ring has rational singularities; when K has positive characteristic, the invariant ring is F-regular, as proven by Hashimoto using good filtrations. We give a new proof of this, viewing the invariant ring for SOt(K) as a cyclic cover of the invariant ring for the corresponding orthogonal group; this point of view has a number of useful consequences, for example, it readily yields the a-invariant and information on the Hilbert series. Indeed, we use this to show that the h-vector of the invariant ring for SOt(K) need not be unimodal

    Investigating Genetic Diversity and Population Structure in Rice Breeding from Association Mapping of 116 Accessions Using 64 Polymorphic SSR Markers

    No full text
    Genetic variability in rice breeding programs plays a very crucial role. It provides an outstanding pool of superior alleles governing better agronomic and quality characters through association mapping. For a greater understanding of population structure, the genetic relationship among different rice lines is indispensable prior to the setting of a correlation among dynamic alleles and traits. In the present investigation, the genetic diversity and population structure of 116 rice accessions were studied to understand genetic relatedness and diversity among them using 64 polymorphic SSR markers. A genotyping assessment based on SSR markers revealed a total of 225 alleles, with an average PIC value of 0.755. The germplasm lines were classified into three distinct subgroups through population structure analysis, utilizing both model- and distance-based approaches. AMOVA analysis showed that 11% of the total variation could be attributed to differences between groups, while the remaining 89% was likely due to differences within groups. This study suggested that population structure and genetic relatedness should be considered to establish marker-trait associations for association mapping when working with the core collection of germplasm lines

    Katha volynkini Joshi & Singh, sp. nov. (Figs. 1, 13–14) Type locality: Garampani, Meghalaya, India. Type material: Holotype, ♂, INDIA, Meghalaya, Garampani, 09.IX.09 (Coll. R Joshi; Reg. no. PUP /RJ/135). One paratype: INDIA, Mizoram, Champhai, 27.IX.09 – 1♂.(Coll. R. Joshi; Reg. no. PUP/RJ/135a). Description: Adult (Fig. 1). Forewing length 14mm.Head with frons brown; vertex yellow. Antennae simple, brown. Labial palpi yellow, black at tips. Thorax with patagia and tegulae dark yellow; pectus pale yellow. Forewing creamish yellow with velvety texture; apex with more tinge of yellow; a deep groove from base of cell to tornus; underside minutely suffused with fuscous, termen pale; inner margin excurved at subbasal area. Hindwing concolourous. Legs black, suffused with some yellow on forelegs. Abdomen yellowish with some white at base. Male genitalia(Fig. 13) with uncus broad, sparsely setose, apically hooked; tegumen smaller than the very long vinculum; saccus deep v-shaped, with knob-like tip. Valvae typical of the genus, distal saccular process ending in a small spine. Juxta rectangular. Aedeagus (Fig. 14) moderately short and broad; vesica four lobed, apical lobe with female shoe shaped spine and basal lobe with a stout, blade-like spine; one lateral lobe with a dentate sclerotized plate, another with a field of minute spines. Diagnosis: Externally, the species of Katha are very similar to each other and are better diagnosed on the basis of male genitalia. Due to the absence of apical spine in aedeagus, and presence of two spines and a dentate plate in vesica, K. volynkini sp. nov. (Figs. 1, 13–14) is closely similar to K. conformis (Figs. 2, 15–16) but can be distinguished from it in the following attributes: a field of minute spines on a lobe opposite to the dentate plate is present; apical lobe of vesica is short with a female shoe shaped apical spine, vinculum broad “v”-shaped and saccus knobbed. Whereas, K. conformis lacks the field of minute spines, characteristic for the new species; the apical lobe of vesica is tubular with a nail like apical spine; the vinculum is narrow, “v”-shaped and the saccus is simple. Other closely related species is K. suffusa, which differs from the new species in the presence of single spine in vesica. Etymology: The species name is dedicated to Dr. Anton Volynkin, Arctiinae specialist from Tomsk, Russia.Published as part of Joshi, Rahul, Singh, Navneet & Singh, Jagbir, 2018, Description of a new Katha species from India, with a key to the Oriental species (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae), pp. 435-442 in Zootaxa 4407 (3) on page 436, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4407.3.10, http://zenodo.org/record/121652

    IDEALS GENERATED BY POWER SUMS

    No full text
    We consider ideals in a polynomial ring generated by collections of power sum polynomials, and obtain conditions under which these define complete intersection rings, normal domains, and unique factorization domains. We also settle a key case of a conjecture of Conca, Krattenthaler, and Watanabe, and prove other results in that direction
