How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T12042327 — 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.
Jordan curve theorem
The Jordan curve theorem is a fundamental result in topology stating that any simple closed curve in the plane divides the plane into exactly two distinct regions, an "inside" and an "outside."
-
B.
Smale’s paradox
Smale’s paradox is a result in differential topology showing that a sphere can be turned inside out in three-dimensional space through smooth deformations without tearing or creasing, challenging intuitive notions of geometry.

C.
Dehn–Lickorish theorem
The Dehn–Lickorish theorem is a fundamental result in low-dimensional topology stating that the mapping class group of a closed, orientable surface is generated by finitely many Dehn twists.
-
D.
Whitney embedding theorem
The Whitney embedding theorem is a fundamental result in differential topology stating that any smooth n-dimensional manifold can be embedded as a submanifold of Euclidean space of sufficiently high dimension (specifically \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\)).

E.
Brouwer fixed-point theorem
The Brouwer fixed-point theorem is a fundamental result in topology stating that any continuous function from a compact convex set (such as a closed disk) to itself has at least one fixed point.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
