"Stochastic grammars for modeling RNA sequences - Part II"
ABSTRACT: Part I covered some biochemistry and introduced the problem of
modeling the statistical variability of homologous RNA
sequences. Part II will be about a broad class of models
for such sequences. Because of the way in which RNA
molecules fold over and interact with themselves, the
nucleotide sequence has complicated long-range dependence
which requires new types of probabilistic models to be
developed. Stochastic grammars, which were first introduced
to describe human languages, have many of the essential
features, and so are a good starting point. After a brief
description of the various kinds of grammars, we will see
how a simple stochastic grammar can reproduce many features
of RNA sequences.

"Pseudo-Finite Dimensional Representations of sl(2,k)"
ABSTRACT: A Pseudo-finite dimensional representation of the Lie algebra L =
sl(2,k)) is a module over the universal enveloping algebra U(L)
that satisfies the axioms of a finite dimensional representation.
We will show how all such representations may be induced from a von
Neumann regular epimorphic ring extension U(L) \subseteq U'(L).
