How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T15990290 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Alexandrov–Hausdorff theorem
The Alexandrov–Hausdorff theorem is a result in descriptive set theory that characterizes analytic sets as continuous images of Baire space, playing a key role in the study of definable sets in Polish spaces.
-
B.
Tychonoff theorem for products of compact spaces
The Tychonoff theorem for products of compact spaces is a fundamental result in topology stating that any product of compact topological spaces is compact, a statement that is equivalent in strength to the axiom of choice.
-
C.
Freudenthal compactification
The Freudenthal compactification is a topological construction that extends a non-compact, locally compact space by adding a boundary of “ends” to obtain a compact space that more finely captures its asymptotic structure than the one-point (Alexandrov) compactification.
-
D.
Alexandrov compactification
The Alexandrov compactification is a topological construction that adds a single “point at infinity” to a non-compact space to make it compact.
-
E.
Stone–Čech compactification
The Stone–Čech compactification is a construction in topology that associates to any topological space a universal, maximally extensive compact Hausdorff space into which it densely embeds.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
