the result that if P differs from NP then there are problems in NP that are neither in P nor NP-complete.

In computational complexity, Ladner's theorem refers to the result that if P differs from NP then there are problems in NP that are neither in P nor NP-complete. This meaning comes from Ladner (1975) in Journal of the ACM.[1]
