  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. Arrow's impossibility theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow's_impossibility_theorem

    Soon after Arrow published his theorem, Duncan Black showed his own remarkable result, the median voter theorem. The theorem proves that if voters and candidates are arranged on a left-right spectrum, Arrow's conditions are all fully compatible, and all will be met by any rule satisfying Condorcet's majority-rule principle. [12] [13]

  4. Penrose–Hawking singularity theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose–Hawking...

    The Hawking singularity theorem is based on the Penrose theorem and it is interpreted as a gravitational singularity in the Big Bang situation. Penrose shared half of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2020 "for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity".

  5. Bell's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell's_theorem

    Bell's 1964 theorem requires the possibility of perfect anti-correlations: the ability to make a completely certain prediction about the result from the second detector, knowing the result from the first. [5] The theorem builds upon the "EPR criterion of reality", a concept introduced in the 1935 paper by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Morita equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morita_equivalence

    In abstract algebra, Morita equivalence is a relationship defined between rings that preserves many ring-theoretic properties. More precisely, two rings R, S are Morita equivalent (denoted by ) if their categories of modules are additively equivalent (denoted by [a]). [2]

  8. Schur's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schur's_lemma

    In mathematics, Schur's lemma [1] is an elementary but extremely useful statement in representation theory of groups and algebras.In the group case it says that if M and N are two finite-dimensional irreducible representations of a group G and φ is a linear map from M to N that commutes with the action of the group, then either φ is invertible, or φ = 0.

  9. Von Neumann–Bernays–Gödel set theory - Wikipedia

    Class existence axioms will be used to prove the class existence theorem: For every formula in free set variables that quantifies only over sets, there exists a class of -tuples that satisfy it. The following example starts with two classes that are functions and builds a composite function .
