I am trying to put a definition using the newtheorem environment for an ACM template. After it execution, it is not placed in the single column, rather it span towards the next column. I have attach the output. Please explain, why it is behaving abnormally? The MWE and the output (screen shot), is as follows.
\documentclass{sig-alternate-05-2015}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}[section]
\newtheorem{corollary}[theorem]{Corollary}
\newtheorem{dfn}{Definition}
\newtheorem{hypothesis}{Hypothesis}
\newtheorem{lemma}[theorem]{Lemma}
\newtheorem{proposition}[theorem]{Proposition}
\newtheorem{remark}{Remark}
\newtheorem{example}{Example}

\begin{dfn}[One-Way Hash Function]
Given $H(x)$, it is hard for any PPT bounded algorithm $\mathcal{A}$ to find out $x$. The advantage $\epsilon$ of $\mathcal{A}$ in finding another solution is defined as
$$\left\vert\Pr\left[
\left.\begin{array}{l}
x\in_R \{0,1\}^n\\y\leftarrow H(x)\\x'\leftarrow\mathcal{A}(y)
\end{array}
\right\vert H(x')=y\right] \right \vert\geq\epsilon$$

The
sig-alternate
setup of theorem-like environments typesets the whole label, including the attribution/name part, in a box.This does not happen when
amsthm
is loaded. However, in order to allow usingamsthm
one has to remove the definition ofproof
and reinstate it afterwards.I see no way for allowing long theorem names within the standard code of
sig-alternate
.
