How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T1477428 — 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.
Kakutani’s random ergodic theorem
Kakutani’s random ergodic theorem is a fundamental result in ergodic theory that extends classical ergodic theorems to sequences of randomly chosen measure-preserving transformations.
-
B.
Kakutani fixed-point theorem
The Kakutani fixed-point theorem is a fundamental result in mathematical analysis and game theory that guarantees the existence of fixed points for certain set-valued (multivalued) functions, underpinning key existence proofs such as Nash equilibria.
-
C.
Poincaré–Birkhoff fixed-point theorem
The Poincaré–Birkhoff fixed-point theorem is a fundamental result in dynamical systems and topology that guarantees the existence of at least two fixed points for certain area-preserving twist maps of an annulus.
-
D.
Poincaré recurrence theorem
The Poincaré recurrence theorem is a fundamental result in dynamical systems and ergodic theory stating that certain systems will, after a sufficiently long but finite time, return arbitrarily close to their initial state.
-
E.
Khinchin–Kahane type inequalities
Khinchin–Kahane type inequalities are fundamental results in probability and functional analysis that bound moments or norms of random series (often with Rademacher or Gaussian coefficients) in terms of each other, providing powerful tools for studying the geometry of Banach spaces and random processes.
- 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.
