How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T4552478 — 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.

Ramanujan–Petersson conjecture
The Ramanujan–Petersson conjecture is a fundamental statement in number theory and the theory of modular forms that predicts strong bounds on the Fourier coefficients of modular cusp forms, with deep connections to automorphic forms and the Langlands program.

D.
Chebotarev density theorem
The Chebotarev density theorem is a fundamental result in algebraic number theory that generalizes the prime number theorem to describe how often primes in a number field have a given Frobenius conjugacy class in its Galois group.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
