Selmer group
E1099328
UNEXPLORED
A Selmer group is an arithmetic invariant in number theory that encodes obstructions to local-global principles for Galois representations or abelian varieties, playing a central role in studying Diophantine equations and Iwasawa theory.

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T14438335 — 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.
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.
-
B.
Whitehead groups
Whitehead groups are algebraic K-theory invariants associated with groups that measure the failure of certain projective modules or h-cobordisms to be trivial, playing a central role in high-dimensional topology and geometric group theory.
-
C.
Segal conjecture
The Segal conjecture is a fundamental result in algebraic topology that relates the Burnside ring of a finite group to the stable cohomotopy of its classifying space, profoundly influencing equivariant stable homotopy theory.
-
D.
Abelian groups
Abelian groups are algebraic structures in which the group operation is commutative, meaning the order of combining elements does not affect the result.
-
E.
Grothendieck group
The Grothendieck group is an algebraic construction that formally turns a commutative monoid (often arising from isomorphism classes of objects like vector bundles or modules) into an abelian group, playing a central role in K-theory and modern algebraic geometry.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
