How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T2636369 — 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.

Lie subgroup
A Lie subgroup is a subgroup of a Lie group that is itself a Lie group and an embedded submanifold, inheriting compatible smooth and group structures from the ambient Lie group.

Weil group
The Weil group is an extension of the absolute Galois group introduced by André Weil to refine class field theory and play a central role in the formulation of the local and global Langlands correspondences.

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.
Input
Subject: Fitting subgroup Description of subject: The Fitting subgroup is a characteristic subgroup of a finite group formed by the product of all its nilpotent normal subgroups, playing a central role in the structure theory of finite groups.
