The Line and Michel Loève International Prize in Probability (Loève Prize) was created in 1992 in honor of Michel Loève by his widow Line. The prize, awarded every two years, is intended to recognize outstanding contributions by researchers in mathematical probability who are under 45 years old. With a prize value of...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebesgue%20differentiation%20theorem
In mathematics, the Lebesgue differentiation theorem is a theorem of real analysis, which states that for almost every point, the value of an integrable function is the limit of infinitesimal averages taken about the point. The theorem is named for Henri Lebesgue. Statement For a Lebesgue integrable real or complex-va...

In number theory, Zsigmondy's theorem, named after Karl Zsigmondy, states that if are coprime integers, then for any integer , there is a prime number p (called a primitive prime divisor) that divides and does not divide for any positive integer , with the following exceptions: , ; then which has no prime divisors...

Dr. Donald Rees is the former warden of Hugh Stewart Hall in the University of Nottingham for 29 years (1975–2004). Dr. Rees was a highly respected academic, being a professor of mathematics, and a leading member of the University community. He was the last warden to inhabit the Warden's House at Hugh Stewart in its en...

In mathematics, the are three disjoint connected open sets of the plane or open unit square with the counterintuitive property that they all have the same boundary. In other words, for any point selected on the boundary of one of the lakes, the other two lakes' boundaries also contain that point. More than two sets w...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective%20connection
In differential geometry, a projective connection is a type of Cartan connection on a differentiable manifold. The structure of a projective connection is modeled on the geometry of projective space, rather than the affine space corresponding to an affine connection. Much like affine connections, projective connectio...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabi%20frequency
The Rabi frequency is the frequency at which the probability amplitudes of two atomic energy levels fluctuate in an oscillating electromagnetic field. It is proportional to the Transition Dipole Moment of the two levels and to the amplitude (not intensity) of the Electromagnetic field. Population transfer between the l...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residually%20finite%20group
In the mathematical field of group theory, a group G is residually finite or finitely approximable if for every element g that is not the identity in G there is a homomorphism h from G to a finite group, such that There are a number of equivalent definitions: A group is residually finite if for each non-identity elem...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parafree%20group
In mathematics, in the realm of group theory, a group is said to be parafree if its quotients by the terms of its lower central series are the same as those of a free group and if it is residually nilpotent (the intersection of the terms of its lower central series is trivial). Parafree groups share many properties wi...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complemented%20group
In mathematics, in the realm of group theory, the term complemented group is used in two distinct, but similar ways. In , a complemented group is one in which every subgroup has a group-theoretic complement. Such groups are called completely factorizable groups in the Russian literature, following and . The followi...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasiconvex%20function
In mathematics, a quasiconvex function is a real-valued function defined on an interval or on a convex subset of a real vector space such that the inverse image of any set of the form is a convex set. For a function of a single variable, along any stretch of the curve the highest point is one of the endpoints. The neg...
