How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T478545 — 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.
Feynman–Kac formula
The Feynman–Kac formula is a fundamental result connecting solutions of certain partial differential equations with expectations over stochastic processes, forming a bridge between quantum mechanics, probability theory, and mathematical finance.
-
B.
Girsanov theorem
Girsanov theorem is a fundamental result in stochastic calculus that describes how the dynamics of stochastic processes, particularly Brownian motion, change under an equivalent change of probability measure.
-
C.
Kolmogorov backward equation
The Kolmogorov backward equation is a fundamental partial differential equation in stochastic processes that characterizes the time evolution of expected values of functionals of Markov processes, complementary to the Fokker–Planck (forward) equation.
-
D.
Riemann–Liouville integral
The Riemann–Liouville integral is a fundamental operator in fractional calculus that generalizes the concept of an n-fold repeated integral to non-integer (fractional) orders.
-
E.
Rényi divergence
Rényi divergence is a family of information-theoretic measures that generalize Kullback–Leibler divergence to quantify the dissimilarity between probability distributions, parameterized by an order α.
- 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.
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.
