Generalization of Pascal's theorem to higher dimensions

See the very nice paper by Eisenbud, Green, and Harris: @article {MR1376653, AUTHOR = {Eisenbud, David and Green, Mark and Harris, Joe}, TITLE = {Cayley-{B}acharach theorems and conjectures}, …

pointwise ergodic theorem and mean sojourn time

Why mean sojourn time theorem is not the pointwise ergodic theorem with $f=\chi_U?$ And mean sojourn time theorem iff ergodicity. … And of course there are many proves of mean sojourn time theorem that do not use pointwise ergodic theorem. …

A problem/conjecture related to 4-manifolds that deserves a name. What name does it deserve?

In dimension 3, you have the sphere theorem, the torus theorem, the annulus theorem, and the disk theorem (which is the loop theorem and Dehn's lemma put together). … So, if you didn't require the sphere to be embedded, and the problem already had an affirmative answer, I'd call it the Ball Theorem. …

Reference request and prerequisites for understanding the Sphere Theorem and the Loop Theore...

There are many possible approaches to the loop and sphere theorems now available. … One may also deduce the loop theorem from the sphere theorem by doubling. These theorems also follow as corollaries of the geometrization theorem. …

Seemingly emergent structures in mathematics

So I suppose the following would be examples of answers to the question: Ramsey's theorem; van der Waerden's theorem; the Hales-Jewett theorem; Szemeredi's theorem; the Green-Tao theorem. … Especially infinite versions of such theorems seem to match nicely with your example of the central limit theorem. …

Main statement as theorem or corollary

You say "Especially in the context of theorem provers: ..." then go on to describe conflating content and presentation. The content is a dependency tree of theorems. … Until theorem provers start proving theorems about the difficulty in understanding a statement and proof assuming a reader model, this is not in the context of theorem provers.) …

When are two proofs of the same theorem really different proofs

More generally, this argument shows something like this: if there exist two theorems which are “essentially different”, then there exists a theorem with two proofs which are “essentially different”. … Or, contapositively, if all proofs of any given theorem are “essentially the same”, then in fact all theorems are “essentially the same”. …

Theorem versus Proposition

Edmund Landau had theorems only, and otherwise nothing (when it comes to naming special statements which required a proof; there should be also definitions and axioms on the top of the theorems). … Section 2.4 The fundamental Theorem of Algebra (while, inside the section, this theorem could be Theorem 72, with a sentence of an explanation preceding that theorem). …

Combination theorems for discrete subgroups of isometry groups

There's a combination theorem of Bestvina-Feighn for hyperbolic groups. … There are gluing theorems for $CAT(\kappa)$ spaces in Chapter 11 of Bridson-Haefliger which can give rise to combination theorems for groups. …

Pseudofunctors of 2-variables and Gray tensor product of bicategories

Since this question was written, there is a paper 2-dimensional bifunctor theorems and distributive laws by Faul–Manuell–Siqueira based on this idea. … In particular, they prove a "bifunctor theorem" for lax functors between 2-categories (Theorem 3.2), and relate it to certain tensor products of 2-categories (see Theorem 4.10, the end of §4, and Theorem

Can one measure the infeasibility of four color proofs?

Theorem 1 does not require computer assistance, while Theorem 2 and Theorem 3 both do require computer assistance. … Thus, given that it took a computer 9 times longer to verify Theorem 2 than Theorem 3, and Theorem 3 apparently can be verified by hand in a few months (let us define few=3), then under some very dubious …

Is there a conjunction bias?

If the hypothesis of a theorem is a disjunction, you can always split the theorem up into two theorems with separate hypotheses, and doing so will often clarify the statement and proof anyway. … (Dually, if the conclusion of a theorem is a conjunction, then you can split it up into two theorems with separate conclusions. …

Main statement as theorem or corollary

I would state the main result up front, along the lines of: In this paper we prove the following theorem: Theorem A: (statement of theorem A) Then go on with the explanation of the proof, including … Then you can finish with: Theorem A follows simply as a corollary. …
