For genus g=2i≥4 and the length g−1 partition μ=(4,2,…,2,−2,…,−2) of 0, we compute the first coefficients of the class of D¯¯¯¯(μ) in PicQ(R¯¯¯¯g), where D(μ) is the divisor consisting of pairs [C,η]∈Rg with η≅OC(2x1+x2+⋯+xi−1−xi−⋯−x2i−1) for some points x1,…,x2i−1 on C. We further provide several enumerative results that will be used for this computation.
We show that the non-Archimedean skeleton of the d-th symmetric power of a smooth projective algebraic curve X is naturally isomorphic to the d-th symmetric power of the tropical curve that arises as the non-Archimedean skeleton of X. The retraction to the skeleton is precisely the specialization map for divisors. Moreover, we show that the process of tropicalization naturally commutes with the diagonal morphisms and the Abel-Jacobi map and we exhibit a faithful tropicalization for symmetric powers of curves. Finally, we prove a version of the Bieri-Groves Theorem that allows us, under certain tropical genericity assumptions, to deduce a new tropical Riemann-Roch-Theorem for the tropicalization of linear systems.
Using the notion of a root datum of a reductive group G we propose a tropical analogue of a principal G-bundle on a metric graph. We focus on the case G=GLn, i.e. the case of vector bundles. Here we give a characterization of vector bundles in terms of multidivisors and use this description to prove analogues of the Weil--Riemann--Roch theorem and the Narasimhan--Seshadri correspondence. We proceed by studying the process of tropicalization. In particular, we show that the non-Archimedean skeleton of the moduli space of semistable vector bundles on a Tate curve is isomorphic to a certain component of the moduli space of semistable tropical vector bundles on its dual metric graph.
In this article we provide a stack-theoretic framework to study the universal tropical Jacobian over the moduli space of tropical curves. We develop two approaches to the process of tropicalization of the universal compactified Jacobian over the moduli space of curves -- one from a logarithmic and the other from a non-Archimedean analytic point of view. The central result from both points of view is that the tropicalization of the universal compactified Jacobian is the universal tropical Jacobian and that the tropicalization maps in each of the two contexts are compatible with the tautological morphisms. In a sequel we will use the techniques developed here to provide explicit polyhedral models for the logarithmic Picard variety.
In this thesis, the focus is on the actions of primary school children using digital and analogue materials in comparable mathematical situations. To emphasise actions on different materials in the mathematical learning process, a semiotic perspective according to C. S. Peirce (CP 1931-35) on mathematics learning is adopted. This theoretical research perspective highlights the activity itself on diagrams as a mathematical activity and brings actions to the forefront of interest. The actions on comparable digital and analogue diagrams are the basis for the reconstruction of mathematical interpretations of learners in 3rd and 4th grade.
The research questions investigate to what extent possible differences between the reconstructed interpretations of the learners can be attributed to the different materials and what influence the material has on the mathematical relationships that the learners take into account in their actions to manipulate the diagram.
For the reconstruction of the diagram interpretations based on the learners' actions on the material, a semiotic specification of Vogel's (2017) adaptation of Mayring's (2014) context analysis is used. This specification is based on Peirce's triadic theory of signs (Billion, 2023). The reconstructed interpretations of the analogue and digital diagrams are compared in a second step to identify possible differences and similarities.
The results of the qualitative analyses show, among other things, that despite the different actions of the learners on the digital and analogue diagrams, it is possible to reconstruct the same diagram interpretations if the learners establish the same mathematical relationships between the parts of the diagrams in their actions. There are also passages in the analyses where the same diagram interpretations cannot be reconstructed based on the actions on the digital and analogue materials. If the digital material acts as a tool and automatically creates several relationships between the parts of the diagram triggered by an action, then the reconstruction of the learners' diagram interpretations based on the analysis of their actions is partially possible. If the tool automatically establishes relationships, these must then be interpreted by the learners using gestures and phonetic utterances to understand the newly created diagram. Thus, a tool changes how mathematical relationships are expressed, because learners no longer have to interpret the relationships before their actions to manipulate the diagram itself, but afterwards through gestures and phonetic utterances. Regarding diagrammatic reasoning according to Peirce (NEM IV), this means that with analogue material the focus is on the construction and manipulation of diagrams through rule-guided actions, whereas with digital material, which functions as a tool, there is more emphasis on observing the results of the manipulations on the diagram.
At the end of the thesis, a recommendation for teachers on how to design mathematics lessons for primary school children using digital and analogue materials will be derived from the results.

In 1999, Merino and Welsh conjectured that evaluations of the Tutte polynomial of a graph satisfy an inequality. In this short article, we show that the conjecture generalized to matroids holds for the large class of all split matroids by exploiting the structure of their lattice of cyclic flats. This class of matroids strictly contains all paving and copaving matroids.
Mathematical arguments are central components of mathematics and play a role in certain types of modelling of potential mathematical giftedness. However, particular characteristics of arguments are interpreted differently in the context of mathematical giftedness. Some models of giftedness see no connection, whereas other models consider the formulation of complete and plausible arguments as a partial aspect of giftedness. Furthermore, longitudinal changes in argumentation characteristics remain open. This leads to the research focus of this article, which is to identify and describe the changes of argumentation products in potentially mathematically gifted children over a longer period. For this purpose, the argumentation products of children from third to sixth grade are collected throughout a longitudinal study and examined with respect to the use of examples and generalizations. The analysis of all products results in six different types of changes in the characteristics of the argumentation products identified over the survey period and case studies are used to illustrate student use of examples and generalizations of these types. This not only reveals the general importance of the use of examples in arguments. For one type, an increase in generalized arguments can be observed over the survey period. The article will conclude with a discussion of the role of argument characteristics in describing potential mathematical giftedness.
Aus Sicht der Pädagogischen Psychologie ist Lernen ein Prozess, bei dem es zu überdauernden Änderungen im Verhaltenspotenzial als Folge von Erfahrungen kommt. Aus konstruktivistischer Perspektive lässt sich Lernen am besten als eine individuelle Konstruktion von Wissen infolge des Entdeckens, Transformierens und Interpretierens komplexer Informationen durch den Lernenden selbst beschreiben. Erkennt der Lernende den Sinn und übernimmt, erweitert oder verändert ihn für sich selbst, so ist der Grundstein für nachhaltiges Lernen gelegt.
Lernen ist ein sehr individueller Prozess. Schule muss also individuelles Lernen auch im Klassenverband ermöglichen und der Lehrende muss zum Lerncoach werden, da sonst kein individuelles und eigenaktives Lernen möglich ist. Das Unterrichtskonzept des forschend-entdeckenden Lernens bietet genau diese Möglichkeit. Es erlaubt die Erfüllung der drei Grundbedürfnisse eines Menschen nach Kompetenz, Autonomie und sozialer Eingebundenheit und ermöglicht damit Motivation, Leistung und Wohlbefinden (Ryan & Deci, 2004).
Forschend-entdeckendes Lernen im Mathematikunterricht ist schrittweise geprägt von folgenden Merkmalen:
- eine problemorientierte Organisation
- selbstständiges, eigenaktives und eigenverantwortliches Lernen der Schülerinnen und Schüler
- individuelle Lernwege und Lernprozesse
- Entwicklung eigener Fragestellungen und Vorgehensweisen der Lernenden
- eigenes Aufstellen von Hypothesen und Vermutungen; Überprüfung der Vermutungen; Dokumentation, Interpretation und Präsentation der Ergebnisse
- eine fördernde Atmosphäre, in der die Lernenden nach und nach forschende Arbeitstechniken vermitteln bekommen
- kooperative Lernformen und damit Förderung von Team- und Kommunikationsfähigkeit
- Unterrichtsinhalte mit hohem Realitäts- und Sinnbezug, gesellschaftlicher Relevanz, Möglichkeiten der Interdisziplinarität
- Stetige Angebote der Unterstützung
Das entdeckende Lernen kann als Vorstufe des forschenden Lernens gesehen werden, da hier der wissenschaftliche Fokus noch nicht so stark ausgeprägt ist. Um alle Phasen auf dem Weg zu annähernd wissenschaftlichen forschenden Lernens anzusprechen, verwenden wir den Begriff des forschend-entdeckenden Lernens.
Voraussetzung ist, dass die Lehrkräfte das forschende Lernen als aktiven, produktiven und selbstbestimmten Lernprozess selbst zuvor erlebt haben müssen. Unter anderem können die Lehrkräfte Unterrichtsprozesse danach besser planen und währenddessen unterstützen, da sie selbst forschend-entdeckendem Lernen „ausgesetzt“ waren und vergleichbare Prozesse durchlebt haben.
Hiermit wird deutlich, dass forschendes Lernen nicht bedeuten kann, dass die Schülerinnen und Schüler auf sich gestellt sind. Die gezielte Unterstützung der Lernenden beim Entdecken und Forschen durch die Lehrkraft ist für einen ertragreichen Lernerfolg unverzichtbar und muss Teil der Vorbereitung und des Prozesses sein.
Internationale Studien zeigen, dass forschend-entdeckende Unterrichtsansätze (inquiry-based learning IBL) im Mathematikunterricht bei geeigneter Umsetzung Lernen verbessern, Lernerfolg und Lernleistung steigern und Freude gegenüber Mathematikunterricht erhöhen können. Die Implementierung dieses Unterrichtsansatzes ist trotz der positiven Ergebnisse nicht alltäglich.
Um neue Unterrichtskonzepte in den Schulalltag zu bringen beziehungsweise um bestehende Unterrichtskonzepte neu in den Schulalltag zu bringen bedarf es Fortbildungen zur Professionalisierung von Lehrerinnen und Lehrern.
We deal with the shape reconstruction of inclusions in elastic bodies. For solving this inverse problem in practice, data fitting functionals are used. Those work better than the rigorous monotonicity methods from Eberle and Harrach (Inverse Probl 37(4):045006, 2021), but have no rigorously proven convergence theory. Therefore we show how the monotonicity methods can be converted into a regularization method for a data-fitting functional without losing the convergence properties of the monotonicity methods. This is a great advantage and a significant improvement over standard regularization techniques. In more detail, we introduce constraints on the minimization problem of the residual based on the monotonicity methods and prove the existence and uniqueness of a minimizer as well as the convergence of the method for noisy data. In addition, we compare numerical reconstructions of inclusions based on the monotonicity-based regularization with a standard approach (one-step linearization with Tikhonov-like regularization), which also shows the robustness of our method regarding noise in practice.
We deal with the reconstruction of inclusions in elastic bodies based on monotonicity methods and construct conditions under which a resolution for a given partition can be achieved. These conditions take into account the background error as well as the measurement noise. As a main result, this shows us that the resolution guarantees depend heavily on the Lamé parameter μ and only marginally on λ.
