Jim Cullen reviewing Shades of Springsteen: Politics, Love, Sports, and Masculinity, by John Massaro.

We study the large n limit of the moduli spaces of Gn-instantons on S and CP 2 where Gn is SU(n), Sp(n/2), or SO(n). We show that in the direct limit topology, the moduli space is homotopic to a classifying space. For example, the moduli space of Sp(∞) or SO(∞) instantons on CP 2 has the homotopy type of BU(k) where k is the charge of the instantons. We use our results along with Taubes’ result...

Background: Insulin increases endothelial nitric oxide (NO) production by activating endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) through protein kinase B (Akt)-mediated phosphorylation of serine residue 1179 (p-eNOS serine 1179). Because fatty acids modulate insulin-stimulated Akt signaling cascades in smooth muscle cells, we hypothesized that fatty acids would differentially regulate endothelial ...

This paper presents some general formulas for random partitions of a finite set derived by Kingman’s model of random sampling from an interval partition generated by subintervals whose lengths are the points of a Poisson point process. These lengths can be also interpreted as the jumps of a subordinator, that is an increasing process with stationary independent increments. Examples include the ...

Jim Smith is Director of Science at the Wellcome Trust and a group leader at the Francis Crick Institute, where he was formerly Director of Research. A Fellow of both the Royal Society and the Academy of Medical Sciences, he was knighted for his services to medical research and science education in 2016. His lab works on mesoderm induction in the early vertebrate embryo. We met Jim in the Crick...
