Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series were associated with a root system Φ and a number field F containing the n-th roots of unity by Brubaker, Bump, Chinta, Friedberg and Hoffstein [3] and Brubaker, Bump and Friedberg [4] provided n is sufficiently large; their coefficients involve n-th order Gauss sums. The case where n is small is harder, and is addressed in this paper when Φ = Ar. “Twisted” ...

Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series were associated with a root system Φ and a number field F containing the n-th roots of unity by Brubaker, Bump, Chinta, Friedberg and Hoffstein [3] and Brubaker, Bump and Friedberg [4] provided n is sufficiently large; their coefficients involve n-th order Gauss sums and reflect the combinatorics of the root system. Conjecturally, these functions coincide wi...

`̀ The worst thing one can do with words,'' wrote George Orwell a half a century ago, ``is to surrender to them.'' If language is to be `̀ an instrument for expressing and not for concealing or preventing thought,'' he continued, one must `̀ let the meaning choose the word, and not the other way about.''

The functional significance of protein diversification through translational regulation in mammals is largely unexplored. Brubaker et al. now describe the generation of two functionally distinct mammalian proteins, MAVS and miniMAVS, from a single bicistronic mRNA and suggest that noncanonical translation may impact multiple players in innate immune regulation.
