Multiplying Modernisms

Multiplying madly

Dna2 was first characterized in yeast as an essential gene encoding a protein with both helicase and endonuclease activities involved in maturation of Okazaki fragments during DNA replication. Dna2 also plays a role in double-strand break (DSB) repair by homolo-gous recombination. The respective contributions of its replication and/or repair functions toward cell viability and resistance to gen...

Multiplying Senses

My aim is to motivate and develop a view of what senses are. Senses, as I conceive of them, avoid a number of the problems that plague a broadly Fregean approach to the semantics of belief ascriptions, as I hope to show. The chief innovation of my view that enables these solutions is that beliefs are taken to have multiple, truth-conditionally equivalent contents. In traditional Fregean termino...

Multiplying myosins.

M yosins are a diverse family of actin-based molecular motors that appeared early in eukaryotic evolution. Just how early, and how diverse, has begun to become clear from work that appears in this issue of PNAS (1) and recent work from Nature (2). For most of its existence, the term ‘‘myosin’’ applied only to the actinactivated ATPase that forms the bipolar thick filaments of muscle and the cyt...

Multiplying Modular Forms

The space of elliptic modular forms of fixed weight and level can be identified with a space of intertwining operators, from a holomorphic discrete series representation of SL2(R) to a space of automorphic forms. Moreover, multiplying elliptic modular forms corresponds to a branching problem involving tensor products of holomorphic discrete series representations. In this paper, we explicitly c...
