How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T17871993 — 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.
completeness theorem for first-order logic
The completeness theorem for first-order logic is a fundamental result in mathematical logic, proved by Kurt Gödel, which states that every logically valid first-order formula is provable from the axioms of first-order logic.
-
B.
Hamilton’s compactness theorem
Hamilton’s compactness theorem is a fundamental result in geometric analysis that provides conditions under which a sequence of Riemannian manifolds with controlled curvature and injectivity radius admits a smoothly convergent subsequence.
-
C.
Tarski–Mostowski–Robinson theorem
The Tarski–Mostowski–Robinson theorem is a fundamental result in model theory that characterizes when a class of structures is first-order axiomatizable, linking definability properties with closure under ultraproducts and isomorphisms.
-
D.
Herbrand's theorem
Herbrand's theorem is a fundamental result in mathematical logic and proof theory that characterizes the validity of first-order formulas via finite sets of ground instances, forming a basis for automated theorem proving.
-
E.
Löwenheim–Skolem theorem (via additional arguments)
The Löwenheim–Skolem theorem is a fundamental result in model theory stating that any first-order theory with an infinite model has models of all infinite cardinalities, leading to the so-called Skolem paradox about the existence of countable models of set theory.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
