lemma
theorem for proving more complex theorems
Borel–Cantelli lemma
mathematical sentence
Urysohn's lemma
lemma that a topological space is normal iff any 2 disjoint closed subsets can be separated by a continuous function
trilemma
A trilemma is a difficult choice from three options, each of which is (or appears) unacceptable or unfavourable. There are two logically equivalent ways in which to express a trilemma: it can be expressed as a choice among three unfavourable options, one of which must be chosen, or as a choice among three favourable options, only two of which are possible at the same time.
