How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Assuming countable choice, perfect normality, and hence $T_6$ , is hereditary

Statement

Assuming the Axiom of Countable Choice, perfect normality is hereditary. Consequently $T_6$ is hereditary.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The Axiom of Countable Choice and a subspace $S$ of a perfectly normal space $X$ .

[A1]

The Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ( $\mathrm{AC}_\omega$ )).

[L1]

Under [A1], every perfectly normal space is completely normal (Assuming countable choice, every perfectly normal space is completely normal: separated sets in a normal space whose open sets are all $F_\sigma$ can be separated by disjoint open sets).

[L2]

A space is completely normal exactly when every one of its subspaces is normal; $T_1$ is hereditary (A space is completely normal if and only if every subspace is normal, $T_0$ , $T_1$ , and Hausdorffness are hereditary).

[F1]

A closed set of $S$ is $C\cap S$ for ambient closed $C$ ; a $G_\delta$ is a countable intersection of open sets (Subspace topology: the traces of the open sets, its closed sets and its bases, the continuity of the inclusion, and the characteristic property of a map into a subspace, $G_\delta$ and $F_\sigma$ subsets of a topological space, agreeing with the real-line notion).

Proof

technique · direct

1.1

By [L1], $X$ is completely normal. Every subspace of $S$ is then a subspace of $X$ , hence normal by [L2]; applying [L2] to $S$ shows that $S$ is completely normal. The $T_1$ clause of [L2] also shows that $S$ is $T_1$ when $X$ is $T_6$ .

1.2

Let $F$ be closed in $S$ . Write $F=C\cap S$ with $C$ closed in $X$ ; perfect normality writes $C=\bigcap_{n\in\mathbb N}U_n$ with every $U_n$ open in $X$ .

2.1

Then $F=\bigcap_{n\in\mathbb N}(U_n\cap S)$ , a $G_\delta$ of $S$ . Thus $S$ is perfectly normal, and with its inherited $T_1$ property it is $T_6$ when $X$ is $T_6$ .
