How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T18282664 — 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.

Target entity: Mazur's torsion theorem Context triple: [Barry Mazur, knownFor, Mazur's torsion theorem]
-
A.
Mazur control theorem
The Mazur control theorem is a fundamental result in Iwasawa theory that relates Selmer groups over infinite p-adic extensions to those over finite layers, allowing arithmetic information to be “controlled” across the tower.
-
B.
Shafarevich group of a torus
The Shafarevich group of a torus is an arithmetic invariant measuring the failure of local-global principles for principal homogeneous spaces under an algebraic torus over a global field.
-
C.
Mordell–Weil theorem
The Mordell–Weil theorem is a fundamental result in number theory stating that the group of rational points on an abelian variety (in particular, an elliptic curve) over a number field is finitely generated.
-
D.
Fontaine–Mazur conjecture
The Fontaine–Mazur conjecture is a central open problem in number theory that predicts which p-adic Galois representations of number fields arise from geometry or from automorphic forms.
-
E.
Faltings' theorem
Faltings' theorem is a landmark result in arithmetic geometry that proves every algebraic curve of genus greater than one over a number field has only finitely many rational points.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
