How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T8644707 — 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.
Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem
The Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem is a major result in analytic number theory that gives strong average estimates for the distribution of prime numbers in arithmetic progressions, approaching what is predicted by the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis.
-
B.
Lindelöf hypothesis
The Lindelöf hypothesis is an unproven conjecture in analytic number theory about the growth rate of the Riemann zeta function along the critical line, with deep implications for the distribution of prime numbers.
-
C.
Riemann hypothesis
The Riemann hypothesis is a famous unsolved conjecture in number theory asserting that all nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on a critical line in the complex plane, with deep implications for the distribution of prime numbers.
-
D.
Ramanujan–Petersson conjecture
The Ramanujan–Petersson conjecture is a fundamental statement in number theory and the theory of modular forms that predicts strong bounds on the Fourier coefficients of modular cusp forms, with deep connections to automorphic forms and the Langlands program.
-
E.
Bateman–Horn conjecture
The Bateman–Horn conjecture is a far-reaching unproven statement in number theory that predicts how often sets of polynomial expressions simultaneously take prime values, generalizing several earlier conjectures about the distribution of prime numbers.
- 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.
