Note: If the context is obvious, it is le� unstated.

1. A circle is a closed curve of constant width, but a closed curve of constant width is not necessarily a
circle. (The canonical example of a closed curve of constant width that is not a circle is the Reuleaux
triangle.)

2. If a given surface of revolu�on has finite area, then it has finite volume, but the converse does not
hold. (Gabriel's Horn, aka Torricelli's Trumpet, is the standard counter-example.)

3. If X is a quasi-compact, Hausdorff, and extremally disconnected topological space, then X is profinite,

but the converse does not hold.

4. Convergence is mean squares implies convergence in probability, but the converse does not hold.

5. context: Abstract Algebra; If A is a unique-factoriza�on domain, then so is A[[x]], but the converse
does not hold.

6. context: Algebraic Topology; If there exists a point that is a deforma�on retract, then the space is
contrac�ble, but the converse does not hold.

7. context: Tort Law; If the injurer was in viola�on of the statutory standard, then the injurer is subject to
tort liability, but the converse does not hold.

8. If a given individual is to tes�fy for a given side, then that individual will be announced as such, but
the converse does not hold.

9. If you are currently using a certain func�onality, your status shows as 'ac�ve', but the converse does
not hold.

10. If a married male is a monarch, then his wife is a monarch, but the converse does not hold. (In more
familiar terms, the wife of a king is a queen, but the husband of a queen is not necessarily a king.)

11. In Germanic ci�es, if a woman is married, then she is to be addressed as Frau (instead of Fraulein),
but the converse does not hold. (Above a certain age / status an unmarried woman is to be addressed as
Frau.)
