   Abstract = {The point-pushing subgroup P(S_g) of the mapping class group
             MCG_{g,*} of a surface with marked point is an embedding of
             \pi_1(S_g) given by pushing the marked point around loops.
             We prove that for g>= 3, the subgroup P(S_g) is the unique
             normal, genus g surface subgroup of $\mcg$. As a corollary
             to this uniqueness result, we give a new proof that
             Out(MCG_{g,*}^\pm)=1$, where Out denotes the outer
             automorphism group; a proof which does not use automorphisms
             of complexes of curves. Ingredients in our proof of this
             characterization theorem include combinatorial group theory,
             representation theory, the Johnson theory of the Torelli
             group, surface topology, and the theory of Lie
             algebras.},

   Abstract = {Budding viruses face a trade-off: virions need to
             efficiently attach to and enter uninfected cells while newly
             generated virions need to efficiently detach from infected
             cells. The right balance between attachment and
             detachment-the right amount of stickiness-is needed for
             maximum fitness. Here, we design and analyse a mathematical
             model to study in detail the impact of attachment and
             detachment rates on virus fitness. We apply our model to
             influenza, where stickiness is determined by a balance of
             the haemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) proteins. We
             investigate how drugs, the adaptive immune response and
             vaccines impact influenza stickiness and fitness. Our model
             suggests that the location in the 'stickiness landscape' of
             the virus determines how well interventions such as drugs or
             vaccines are expected to work. We discuss why hypothetical
             NA enhancer drugs might occasionally perform better than the
             currently available NA inhibitors in reducing virus fitness.
             We show that an increased antibody or T-cell-mediated immune
             response leads to maximum fitness at higher stickiness. We
             further show that antibody-based vaccines targeting mainly
             HA or NA, which leads to a shift in stickiness, might reduce
             virus fitness above what can be achieved by the direct
             immunological action of the vaccine. Overall, our findings
             provide potentially useful conceptual insights for future
             vaccine and drug development and can be applied to other
             budding viruses beyond influenza.},
