摘要翻译:
数学家一直被遗传学领域所吸引。我对同性恋研究的数学方面特别感兴趣。某些研究表明,男性同性恋可能有与女性生育能力相关的遗传因素。其他研究表明,兄弟出生顺序效应的存在,即同性恋与哥哥数量的相关性。本文致力于这两种现象如何相互联系的数学方面。特别是,我证明了兄弟出生顺序效应在同性恋和母体繁殖力之间产生了关联。反之亦然,我发现同性恋和女性繁殖力之间的相关性意味着弟弟是同性恋的概率增加。

英文摘要:
Mathematicians have always been attracted to the field of genetics. I am especially interested in the mathematical aspects of research on homosexuality. Certain studies show that male homosexuality may have a genetic component that is correlated with female fertility. Other studies show the existence of the fraternal birth order effect, that is the correlation of homosexuality with the number of older brothers. This paper is devoted to the mathematical aspects of how these two phenomena are interconnected. In particular, I show that the fraternal birth order effect produces a correlation between homosexuality and maternal fecundity. Vice versa, I show that the correlation between homosexuality and female fecundity implies the increase of the probability of the younger brothers being homosexual.
