How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T2314515 — 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.
Target entity: “Introduction to Commutative Algebra” (with Ian G. Macdonald) Context triple: [Michael Atiyah, notableWork, “Introduction to Commutative Algebra” (with Ian G. Macdonald)]
-
A.
Moderne Algebra
Moderne Algebra is a foundational 20th-century textbook that systematically developed abstract algebra and helped shape the modern axiomatic approach to the subject.
-
B.
Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity
Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity is an invariant in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry that measures the complexity of the minimal graded free resolution of a module or sheaf, often used to control vanishing of cohomology and bounds on generators.
-
C.
Hilbert’s syzygy theorem
Hilbert’s syzygy theorem is a fundamental result in commutative algebra that describes the finite length and structure of free resolutions of modules over polynomial rings.
-
D.
Categories for the Working Mathematician
Categories for the Working Mathematician is a foundational textbook in category theory that systematically develops the subject and its applications for professional mathematicians.
-
E.
Auslander–Buchsbaum formula
The Auslander–Buchsbaum formula is a fundamental result in commutative algebra that relates the projective dimension of a finitely generated module over a Noetherian local ring to the depth of the module and the depth of the ring.
- 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.
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.
