  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...

    Because the sum of the reciprocals of the primes diverges, the Green–Tao theorem on arithmetic progressions is a special case of the conjecture. The weaker claim that A must contain infinitely many arithmetic progressions of length 3 is a consequence of an improved bound in Roth's theorem. A 2016 paper by Bloom [4] proved that if {,..

  5. Free will - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will

    On that basis "...free will cannot be squeezed into time frames of 150–350 ms; free will is a longer term phenomenon" and free will is a higher level activity that "cannot be captured in a description of neural activity or of muscle activation..." [185] The bearing of timing experiments upon free will is still under discussion.

  6. Superdeterminism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdeterminism

    In the 1980s, John Stewart Bell discussed superdeterminism in a BBC interview: [7] [8] There is a way to escape the inference of superluminal speeds and spooky action at a distance. But it involves absolute determinism in the universe, the complete absence of free will. Suppose the world is super-deterministic, with not just inanimate nature ...

  7. Calculus of variations - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  8. Law of large numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers

    The modern proof of the strong law is more complex than that of the weak law, and relies on passing to an appropriate subsequence. [17] The strong law of large numbers can itself be seen as a special case of the pointwise ergodic theorem. This view justifies the intuitive interpretation of the expected value (for Lebesgue integration only) of a ...

  9. Cosmic censorship hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_censorship_hypothesis

    The strong cosmic censorship hypothesis asserts that, generically, general relativity is a deterministic theory, in the same sense that classical mechanics is a deterministic theory. In other words, the classical fate of all observers should be predictable from the initial data.
