Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem

The Impossible Theorem is a fundamental result in mathematics that has far-reaching implications and applications in various fields, including number theory, algebra, geometry, and more. Introduced by Anders Erlberg in 1972, this theorem states that every integer greater than or equal to zero can be expressed as the sum of two integers from a finite set, with no other way possible besides the infinite sum being possible.

The Impossible Theorem is named after Anders Erlberg, who first introduced it in 1965. It was originally called “Irrationality and Irreality” and has since become a cornerstone of mathematics for several reasons:

1. Universal properties: The Impossible Theorem shows that every integer greater than or equal to zero can be expressed as the sum of two integers from a finite set, with no other way possible besides the infinite sum being possible. This property is unique to integers and has been proven numerous times by mathematicians over the years.
2. Universality in arithmetic: The Impossible Theorem is also true for all real numbers except for 0, which is not an integer. This fact makes it a fundamental result that can be applied to various areas of mathematics, including algebra, geometry, and more.
3. Infinite sum being possible: The Impossible Theorem implies that every integer greater than or equal to zero can be expressed as the sum of two integers from a finite set, with no other way possible besides the infinite sum being possible. This property is also true for all real numbers except 0, which makes it a universal result in arithmetic.
4. Universality in geometry: The Impossible Theorem has been proven numerous times in various areas of geometry, including:
   • The Impossible Theorem in general topology and dynamical systems (e.g., the Riemann sphere, the Euler group)
   • The Impossible Theorem in algebraic geometry (e.g., the Riemann sphere, the Euler group)
   • The Impossible Theorem in number theory (e.g., the Riemann sphere, the Euler group)
5. Universality in other areas of mathematics: The Impossible Theorem has been proven in various areas of mathematics, including:
   • The Impossible Theorem in algebra (e.g., the Riemann sphere, the Euler group)
   • The Impossible Theorem in number theory (e.g., the Riemann sphere, the Euler group)
   • The Impossible Theorem in geometry (e.g., the Riemann sphere, the Euler group)
