  2. Free will theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will_theorem

    The free will theorem states: Given the axioms, if the choice about what measurement to take is not a function of the information accessible to the experimenters (free will assumption), then the results of the measurements cannot be determined by anything previous to the experiments. That is an "outcome open" theorem:

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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.

  6. Tent map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tent_map

    Graph of tent map function Example of iterating the initial condition x 0 = 0.4 over the tent map with μ = 1.9. In mathematics, the tent map with parameter μ is the real-valued function f μ defined by ():= {,}, the name being due to the tent-like shape of the graph of f μ.

  7. Ramification (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramification_(mathematics)

    In a covering map the Euler–Poincaré characteristic should multiply by the number of sheets; ramification can therefore be detected by some dropping from that. The z → z n mapping shows this as a local pattern: if we exclude 0, looking at 0 < |z| < 1 say, we have (from the homotopy point of view) the circle mapped to itself by the n-th power map (Euler–Poincaré characteristic 0), but ...

    A theorem of Levitt and Lustig showing that a fully irreducible automorphism of a F n has "north-south" dynamics when acting on the Thurston-type compactification of the Culler–Vogtmann Outer space. [4] A theorem of Bridson and Groves [7] that for every automorphism α of F n the mapping torus group of α satisfies a quadratic isoperimetric ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem–Spencer_set

    Salem–Spencer sets are also called 3-AP-free sequences or progression-free sets. They have also been called non-averaging sets, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] but this term has also been used to denote a set of integers none of which can be obtained as the average of any subset of the other numbers. [ 3 ]
