  2. Desargues's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desargues's_theorem

    This self-duality in the statement is due to the usual modern way of writing the theorem. Historically, the theorem only read, "In a projective space, a pair of centrally perspective triangles is axially perspective" and the dual of this statement was called the converse of Desargues's theorem and was always referred to by that name. [4]

  3. Converse (logic) - Wikipedia

    For example, the four-vertex theorem was proved in 1912, but its converse was proved only in 1997. [3] In practice, when determining the converse of a mathematical theorem, aspects of the antecedent may be taken as establishing context. That is, the converse of "Given P, if Q then R" will be "Given P, if R then Q".

  4. Moser's trick - Wikipedia

    One implication holds by the invariance of the integral by diffeomorphisms: = = =. For the converse, we apply Moser's trick to the family of volume forms := +.Since () =, the de Rham cohomology class [] vanishes, as a consequence of Poincaré duality and the de Rham theorem.

  5. Converse theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converse_theorem

    In the mathematical theory of automorphic forms, a converse theorem gives sufficient conditions for a Dirichlet series to be the Mellin transform of a modular form. More generally a converse theorem states that a representation of an algebraic group over the adeles is automorphic whenever the L-functions of various twists of it are well-behaved.

  6. Intercept theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercept_theorem

    The intercept theorem, also known as Thales's theorem, basic proportionality theorem or side splitter theorem, is an important theorem in elementary geometry about the ratios of various line segments that are created if two rays with a common starting point are intercepted by a pair of parallels.

  7. Converse relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converse_relation

    The converse relation does satisfy the (weaker) axioms of a semigroup with involution: () = and () =. [12] Since one may generally consider relations between different sets (which form a category rather than a monoid, namely the category of relations Rel ), in this context the converse relation conforms to the axioms of a dagger category (aka ...

  8. Power of a point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_a_point

    Due to the Pythagorean theorem the number () has the simple geometric meanings shown in the diagram: For a point outside the circle () is the squared tangential distance | | of point to the circle . Points with equal power, isolines of Π ( P ) {\displaystyle \Pi (P)} , are circles concentric to circle c {\displaystyle c} .

  9. Triangle inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_inequality

    The converse of the triangle inequality theorem is also true: if three real numbers are such that each is less than the sum of the others, then there exists a triangle with these numbers as its side lengths and with positive area; and if one number equals the sum of the other two, there exists a degenerate triangle (that is, with zero area ...
