The Bohr–Van Leeuwen theorem states that when statistical mechanics and classical mechanics are applied consistently, the thermal average of the magnetization is always zero. [1] This makes magnetism in solids solely a quantum mechanical effect and means that classical physics cannot account for paramagnetism , diamagnetism and ferromagnetism .
In mathematics, the Seifert–Van Kampen theorem of algebraic topology (named after Herbert Seifert and Egbert van Kampen), sometimes just called Van Kampen's theorem, expresses the structure of the fundamental group of a topological space in terms of the fundamental groups of two open, path-connected subspaces that cover. It can therefore be ...
In condensed matter physics and physical chemistry, the Lifshitz theory of van der Waals forces, sometimes called the macroscopic theory of van der Waals forces, is a method proposed by Evgeny Mikhailovich Lifshitz in 1954 for treating van der Waals forces between bodies which does not assume pairwise additivity of the individual intermolecular forces; that is to say, the theory takes into ...
The Tipler cylinder was discovered as a solution to the equations of general relativity by Willem Jacob van Stockum [1] in 1936 and Kornel Lanczos [2] in 1924, but not recognized as allowing closed timelike curves [3] until an analysis by Frank Tipler [4] in 1974.

An 11-year-old girl who was taken to a hospital in critical condition after attempting to save her 12-year-old classmate's life when he fell through the surface of an icy upstate New York lake has ...
Van der Waerden's theorem is a theorem in the branch of mathematics called Ramsey theory.Van der Waerden's theorem states that for any given positive integers r and k, there is some number N such that if the integers {1, 2, ..., N} are colored, each with one of r different colors, then there are at least k integers in arithmetic progression whose elements are of the same color.
