  2. Free will theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will_theorem

    The free will theorem of John H. Conway and Simon B. Kochen states that if we have a free will in the sense that our choices are not a function of the past, then, subject to certain assumptions, so must some elementary particles. Conway and Kochen's paper was published in Foundations of Physics in 2006. [1]

  3. Erdős conjecture on arithmetic progressions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdős_conjecture_on...

    In 1936, Erdős and Turán made the weaker conjecture that any set of integers with positive natural density contains infinitely many 3 term arithmetic progressions. [1] This was proven by Klaus Roth in 1952, and generalized to arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions by Szemerédi in 1975 in what is now known as Szemerédi's theorem.

  4. Unifying theories in mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unifying_theories_in...

    The process of unification might be seen as helping to define what constitutes mathematics as a discipline. For example, mechanics and mathematical analysis were commonly combined into one subject during the 18th century, united by the differential equation concept; while algebra and geometry were considered largely distinct.

    The graph below shows an example of this, producing a fourth-degree polynomial approximating over [−1, 1]. The test points were set at −1, −0.7, −0.1, +0.4, +0.9, and 1. Those values are shown in green. The resultant value of is 4.43 × 10 −4

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_Variations

    The theorem of Du Bois-Reymond asserts that this weak form implies the strong form. If L {\displaystyle L} has continuous first and second derivatives with respect to all of its arguments, and if ∂ 2 L ∂ f ′ 2 ≠ 0 , {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial ^{2}L}{\partial f'^{2}}}\neq 0,} then f {\displaystyle f} has two continuous derivatives ...

    They are called the strong law of large numbers and the weak law of large numbers. [16] [1] Stated for the case where X 1, X 2, ... is an infinite sequence of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Lebesgue integrable random variables with expected value E(X 1) = E(X 2) = ... = μ, both versions of the law state that the sample average

  9. Tits alternative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tits_alternative

    A linear group is not amenable if and only if it contains a non-abelian free group (thus the von Neumann conjecture, while not true in general, holds for linear groups). The Tits alternative is an important ingredient [2] in the proof of Gromov's theorem on groups of polynomial growth. In fact the alternative essentially establishes the result ...
