https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-deleting%20theorem | In physics, the no-deleting theorem of quantum information theory is a no-go theorem which states that, in general, given two copies of some arbitrary quantum state, it is impossible to delete one of the copies. It is a time-reversed dual to the no-cloning theorem, which states that arbitrary states cannot be copied. ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmichael%27s%20totient%20function%20conjecture | In mathematics, Carmichael's totient function conjecture concerns the multiplicity of values of Euler's totient function φ(n), which counts the number of integers less than and coprime to n. It states that, for every n there is at least one other integer m ≠ n such that φ(m) = φ(n).
Robert Carmichael first stated this... |
