Carleson's Theorem states that the Fourier series of a square-integrable function converges to the function pointwise almost everywhere, resolving a convergence question that had been open since the nineteenth century. Named for Lennart Carleson, who proved it in 1966, it settled the pointwise convergence problem for a very broad class of functions and was later extended by Richard Hunt to a wider range of function spaces.

Has Statement Form
Entity-backed identity for the statement-form enum value this theorem already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The statement-form fact itself stays on the theorem unchanged.
