Simple Grammar Question

185 Views Asked by At

Perhaps this question fits on an English Language wiki, but it is more likely a question that mathematicians would know the answer to.

I know that all uses of the words "Theorem" and "Lemma" should be capitalized, but what about the word "lemmata"?

My thinking is that if you make the analogy that each Lemma is behaving like a pronoun (so you have Lemma Bob and Lemma Cthulhu), then "lemmata" is like the word people, which wouldn't be capitalized.

Thanks!

We may define "lemmata" as the plural of lemma. It is "a proven proposition which is used as a stepping stone to a larger result rather than as a statement of interest by itself". However, nowhere is it mentioned if "lemma" is a proper noun.

Let us explore that from a purely English perspective. Wikipedia: "A proper noun is a noun that in its primary application refers to a unique entity". Is a lemma a unique entity? Consider Zorn's Lemma. We capitalize the "l" in "Zorn's Lemma" since it is unique. However, when referring to a general lemma, we don't capitalize the "l". Therefore, we may conclude that a lemma is a proper noun if it is unique. Lemmata in general are not unique. For example, we may consider the set $\{\text{Lemmata in Mathematics}\}$. An arbitrary choice of two lemmas would allow us to write "Lemmata", since the chosen lemmas are two unique lemmas in $\{\text{Lemmata in Mathematics}\}$. If we were to consider the set of lemmata proposed by a single person, say Darth Vader, then we would capitalize the lemmata to get "Varth's Lemmata $\subset\{\text{Lemmata in Mathematics}\}$", the reason being that lemmata are proper nouns if they are unique, in this case meaning made by Vader. In your example, you've got Lemma Bob and Lemma Cthulhu, which you can rewrite as Cthulhu and Bob's Lemmata.
