How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T1250471 — 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.
AdS/CFT correspondence
The AdS/CFT correspondence is a conjectured duality in theoretical physics that equates a gravity theory in anti-de Sitter space with a conformal field theory on its boundary, providing a powerful framework for understanding quantum gravity and strongly coupled quantum field theories.
-
B.
Poincaré group
The Poincaré group is the fundamental symmetry group of special relativity, combining spacetime translations with Lorentz transformations in four-dimensional Minkowski space.
-
C.
de Sitter spacetime
de Sitter spacetime is a maximally symmetric, curved solution of general relativity that models an expanding universe dominated by a positive cosmological constant (dark energy).
-
D.
Green–Schwarz mechanism
The Green–Schwarz mechanism is a key anomaly-cancellation process in string theory that ensures the mathematical consistency of certain superstring models by eliminating gauge and gravitational anomalies.
-
E.
Lorentz group
The Lorentz group is the mathematical group of spacetime symmetries in special relativity, consisting of all rotations and boosts that preserve the Minkowski spacetime interval.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
