We often write "otherwise" in mathematics: https://arxiv.org/html/1501.05438v2#:~:text=otherwise,-%2C https://arxiv.org/html/1302.5008v3#:~:text=otherwise https://arxiv.org/html/1501.05438v2#:~:text=otherwise,-%2E In fact, I think that's the most common alternative, not "else". | ||

"or else" works too but that's still three extra characters | ||
