How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T20627266 — 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.
Vessiot theory of differential equations
The Vessiot theory of differential equations is a geometric framework that studies differential equations via their symmetry and structure using concepts from Lie groups and differential geometry.
-
B.
Carathéodory–Jacobi–Lie theorem
The Carathéodory–Jacobi–Lie theorem is a fundamental result in symplectic geometry and Hamiltonian mechanics that provides canonical local coordinates adapted to a given set of commuting functions.
-
C.
theory of G-structures
The theory of G-structures is a framework in differential geometry that studies geometric structures on manifolds defined by reductions of the frame bundle to a Lie group G, encompassing and unifying many classical geometries such as Riemannian, symplectic, and complex structures.
-
D.
Picard–Vessiot theory
Picard–Vessiot theory is a branch of differential Galois theory that studies linear differential equations via the symmetries of their solution fields, analogous to classical Galois theory for polynomial equations.
-
E.
Poisson geometry
Poisson geometry is the branch of differential geometry that studies manifolds equipped with a Poisson bracket, generalizing classical Hamiltonian mechanics and symplectic geometry.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
