How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T16824720 — 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.
Knaster–Ulam theorem
The Knaster–Ulam theorem is a result in topology and measure theory that, roughly speaking, guarantees the existence of points with certain symmetry or invariance properties under measure-preserving transformations.
-
B.
Brouwer fixed-point theorem
The Brouwer fixed-point theorem is a fundamental result in topology stating that any continuous function from a compact convex set (such as a closed disk) to itself has at least one fixed point.
-
C.
Sperner's lemma
Sperner's lemma is a fundamental result in combinatorial topology that guarantees the existence of a fully labeled simplex in certain labeled triangulations, and is widely used to prove fixed-point and equilibrium theorems.
-
D.
Knaster–Kuratowski–Mazurkiewicz lemma
The Knaster–Kuratowski–Mazurkiewicz lemma is a fundamental result in combinatorial topology that guarantees the existence of a point common to a family of closed sets covering a simplex under certain intersection conditions, and underlies several fixed-point theorems.
-
E.
Borsuk’s conjecture in geometry
Borsuk’s conjecture in geometry is a famous (now disproven in higher dimensions) problem in metric geometry that proposed any bounded set in n-dimensional Euclidean space can be partitioned into n+1 subsets of smaller diameter.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
