A.
Subspace theorem
The Subspace theorem is a fundamental result in Diophantine approximation that describes how solutions to certain inequalities involving linear forms over algebraic numbers must lie in a finite union of proper subspaces.
-
B.
Szekeres–Lindström theorem
The Szekeres–Lindström theorem is a result in combinatorics that characterizes the maximum size of intersecting families of subsets, serving as a precursor to and special case of the Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem.
-
C.
Hindman theorem
Hindman theorem is a fundamental result in Ramsey theory stating that for any finite coloring of the natural numbers, there exists an infinite subset whose finite sums of distinct elements are all the same color.
-
D.
Bose–Nair theorem
The Bose–Nair theorem is a result in combinatorial design theory that provides conditions for the existence and construction of certain balanced incomplete block designs, contributing to the foundations of modern combinatorics and coding theory.
-
E.
Ky Fan’s lemma
Ky Fan’s lemma is a combinatorial topological result that generalizes Tucker’s lemma and provides conditions guaranteeing the existence of certain balanced or fully labeled simplices in labeled triangulations of spheres or simplices.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
