https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loomis%E2%80%93Whitney%20inequality | In mathematics, the Loomis–Whitney inequality is a result in geometry, which in its simplest form, allows one to estimate the "size" of a -dimensional set by the sizes of its -dimensional projections. The inequality has applications in incidence geometry, the study of so-called "lattice animals", and other areas.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scherk%20surface | In mathematics, a Scherk surface (named after Heinrich Scherk) is an example of a minimal surface. Scherk described two complete embedded minimal surfaces in 1834; his first surface is a doubly periodic surface, his second surface is singly periodic. They were the third non-trivial examples of minimal surfaces (the fir... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schoen%E2%80%93Yau%20conjecture | In mathematics, the Schoen–Yau conjecture is a disproved conjecture in hyperbolic geometry, named after the mathematicians Richard Schoen and Shing-Tung Yau.
It was inspired by a theorem of Erhard Heinz (1952). One method of disproof is the use of Scherk surfaces, as used by Harold Rosenberg and Pascal Collin (2006).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposition%20matrix | In mathematics, and in particular modular representation theory, a decomposition matrix is a matrix that results from writing the irreducible ordinary characters in terms of the irreducible modular characters, where the entries of the two sets of characters are taken to be over all conjugacy classes of elements of orde... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brauer%E2%80%93Suzuki%20theorem | In mathematics, the Brauer–Suzuki theorem, proved by , , , states that if a finite group has a generalized quaternion Sylow 2-subgroup and no non-trivial normal subgroups of odd order, then the group has a center of order 2. In particular, such a group cannot be simple.
A generalization of the Brauer–Suzuki theorem is... |
