We determine that the continuous-state branching processes for which the genealogy, suitably time-changed, can be described by an autonomous Markov process are precisely those arising from $\alpha$-stable branching mechanisms. The random ancestral partition is then a time-changed $\Lambda$-coalescent, where $\Lambda$ is the Beta-distribution with parameters $2-\alpha$ and $\alpha$, and the time change is given by $Z^{1-\alpha}$, where $Z$ is the total population size. For $\alpha = 2$ (Feller's branching diffusion) and $\Lambda = \delta_0$ (Kingman's coalescent), this is in the spirit of (a non-spatial version of) Perkins' Disintegration Theorem. For $\alpha =1$ and $\Lambda$ the uniform distribution on $[0,1]$, this is the duality discovered by Bertoin & Le Gall (2000) between the norming of Neveu's continuous state branching process and the Bolthausen-Sznitman coalescent.
We present two approaches: one, exploiting the `modified lookdown construction', draws heavily on Donnelly & Kurtz (1999); the other is based on direct calculations with generators.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit möchte ich nun aufzeigen, dass ein Projekt zu Glücksspielen eine „reichhaltige Lernsituation“ darstellen kann, in der die Schüler Raum, Gelegenheit und Anlass haben, Grunderfahrungen mit zufälligen Vorgängen zu machen, darauf aufbauend wichtige Begriffe zu bilden und schließlich wesentliche stochastische Zusammenhänge zu erkennen. Der Projektmethode entsprechend lag ein Großteil meiner Tätigkeiten im Vorfeld in vorbereitenden und planenden Tätigkeiten. Während der Projektdurchführung trat ich als beratender „Hintergrundlehrer“ auf. Die Schüler arbeiteten weitgehend selbstständig. Der Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit liegt daher auf meinen didaktischen und methodischen Überlegungen zur Vorbereitung des Projekts.
We consider Schwarz maps for triangles whose angles are rather general rational multiples of pi. Under which conditions can they have algebraic values at algebraic arguments? The answer is based mainly on considerations of complex multiplication of certain Prym varieties in Jacobians of hypergeometric curves. The paper can serve as an introduction to transcendence techniques for hypergeometric functions, but contains also new results and examples.
The main subject of this survey are Belyi functions and dessins d'enfants on Riemann surfaces. Dessins are certain bipartite graphs on 2-mainfolds defining there are conformal and even an algebraic structure. In principle, all deeper properties of the resulting Riemann surfaces or algebraic curves should be encoded in these dessins, but the decoding turns out to be difficult and leads to many open problems. We emphasize arithmetical aspects like Galois actions, the relation to the ABC theorem in function filds and arithemtic questions in uniformization theory of algebraic curves defined over number fields.
