How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T2437615 — 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.

Weil conjectures
The Weil conjectures are a set of deep statements about the zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields that guided the development of modern algebraic geometry and were ultimately proved using étale cohomology.

Weil cohomology
Weil cohomology is a type of cohomology theory for algebraic varieties that satisfies specific axioms enabling the proof of the Weil conjectures and the development of modern algebraic geometry.
-
D.
Hasse–Arf theorem
The Hasse–Arf theorem is a fundamental result in algebraic number theory that precisely characterizes the jumps in the ramification filtration of abelian extensions of local fields, showing they occur at integer values.
-
E.
Harish-Chandra isomorphism
The Harish-Chandra isomorphism is a fundamental result in representation theory that identifies the center of the universal enveloping algebra of a semisimple Lie algebra with the algebra of Weyl group–invariant polynomials on a Cartan subalgebra.
- 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.
