For three independent points from any rotationally symmetric planar distribution with nonzero radii, the origin lies in their triangle exactly when their three angles do not all lie in one semicircle. Three independent uniform angles have this property with probability .
If distinct keys transform every ciphertext into equally probable plaintexts through a probability-preserving source symmetry, key equivocation never vanishes and unicity distance is infinite.
Key equivocation is the conditional entropy remaining about a key after observing ciphertext symbols.
This theorem characterizes truth in an ultraproduct. Łoś's theorem says that a first-order formula holds in an ultraproduct exactly when it holds in a set of factors belonging to the ultrafilter.
The method of types combines two facts: there are few possible empirical distributions, and strings within each type class are equiprobable under an independent and identically distributed source. Information entropy determines how many strings share a frequency profile; relative entropy determines how unlikely that profile is under a specified source law. The connection is useful both for lossless source coding and for understanding rare observations.
The following formulas use natural logarithms, so information entropy and relative entropy are measured in nats. DefineHere is the source probability mass function and is an attainable empirical distribution. Use ; first assume every . Base-two logarithms give the equivalent formulas with and .

Degree obstruction to the twisted cubic being a complete intersection by

The twisted cubic is a nondegenerate projective variety, so every hypersurface containing it has degree at least two. At least two hypersurfaces are needed to cut out a curve in , making their degree product at least four rather than the curve's degree three.
A projective variety is nondegenerate when it is contained in no hyperplane of its ambient projective space.
