  1. Abstract For a finite group , a ‐crossed braided fusion category is a ‐graded fusion category with additional structures, namely, a ‐action and a ‐braiding. We develop the notion of ‐crossed braided zesting: an explicit method for constructing new ‐crossed braided fusion categories from a given one by means of cohomological data associated with the invertible objects in the category and grading group . This is achieved by adapting a similar construction for (braided) fusion categories recently described by the authors. All ‐crossed braided zestings of a given category are ‐extensions of their trivial component and can be interpreted in terms of the homotopy‐based description of Etingof, Nikshych, and Ostrik. In particular, we explicitly describe which ‐extensions correspond to ‐crossed braided zestings.

  2. UV absorption is widely used for characterizing proteins structures. The mapping of UV spectra to atomic structure of proteins relies on expensive theoretical simulations, circumventing the heavy computational cost which involves repeated quantum-mechanical simulations of excited-state properties of many fluctuating protein geometries, which has been a long-time challenge. Here we show that a neural network machine-learning technique can predict electronic absorption spectra of N -methylacetamide (NMA), which is a widely used model system for the peptide bond. Using ground-state geometric parameters and charge information as descriptors, we employed a neural network to predict transition energies, ground-state, and transition dipole moments of many molecular-dynamics conformations at different temperatures, in agreement with time-dependent density-functional theory calculations. The neural network simulations are nearly 3,000× faster than comparable quantum calculations. Machine learning should provide a cost-effective tool for simulating optical properties of proteins.
