Reflections on APOS theory in Elementary and Advanced Mathematical Thinking
What are the processes by which we construct mathematical concepts? What is the nature of the cognitive entities constructed in this process? Based on the theories of cognitive construction developed by Piaget for younger children, Dubinsky proposed APOS theory to describe how act ions become interiorized into processes and then encapsulated as mental objects, which take their place in more sop...
متن کاملA construction of the Deligne–Mumford orbifold
The Deligne–Mumford moduli space is the space M̄g,n of isomorphism classes of stable nodal Riemann surfaces of arithmetic genus g with n marked points. A marked nodal Riemann surface is stable if and only if its isomorphism group is finite. We introduce the notion of a universal unfolding of a marked nodal Riemann surface and show that it exists if and only if the surface is stable. A natural co...
متن کاملThe Parabola in Universal Hyperbolic Geometry I
We introduce a novel definition of a parabola into the framework of universal hyperbolic geometry, show many analogs with the Euclidean theory, and also some remarkable new features. The main technique is to establish parabolic standard coordinates in which the parabola has the form xz = y2. Highlights include the discovery of the twin parabola and the connection with sydpoints, many unexpected...
متن کاملThe Global Geometry of Stochastic Lœwner Evolutions
In this article we develop a concise description of the global geometry which is underlying the universal construction of all possible generalised Stochastic Lœwner Evolutions. The main ingredient is the Universal Grassmannian of Sato-Segal-Wilson. We illustrate the situation in the case of univalent functions defined on the unit disc and the classical Schramm-Lœwner stochastic differential equ...
متن کاملUncountable graphs and invariant measures on the set of universal countable graphs
We give new examples and describe the complete lists of all measures on the set of countable homogeneous universal graphs and Ksfree homogeneous universal graphs (for s ≥ 3) that are invariant with respect to the group of all permutations of the vertices. Such measures can be regarded as random graphs (respectively, random Ks-free graphs). The well-known example of Erdös–Rényi (ER) of the rando...
