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.

A dense Gδ subset of R of Lebesgue measure zero containing every rational, and its meager complement of full measure

Example

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice. Then there is a dense Gδ set GR with QG and λ1(G)=0. Consequently RG is meager and has full measure on every bounded interval.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The Axiom of Countable Choice.

[L1]

Every subset of Rn has a Gδ measurable hull of the same outer measure (Every subset of Rn has a Gδ measurable hull of the same outer measure).

[L2]
[F1]

A is a Gδ set of X when there is a sequence (Vn)nN of open subsets of X with A=nNVn (Gδ and Fσ subsets of a topological space, agreeing with the real-line notion).

[F2]

A is nowhere dense when the interior of its closure is empty, and a set is meager when it is a countable union of nowhere dense sets (Nowhere dense, meager (first category), residual, and second category subsets of R).

[L3]

Assuming countable choice, a box in Rn with parameters aibi is Lebesgue measurable of measure i<n(biai) (A box in Rn with parameters aibi is Lebesgue measurable of measure i<n(biai), whichever of its faces are included).

Verification

1.1

The rational line Q is countable, hence null by [L2]. Applying [L1] to QR gives a Gδ set GQ with λ1(G)=0.

L1L2
2.1

Because Q is dense in R and QG, the set G is dense; and [F1] records that it is Gδ.

3.1

Write G=nNVn with each Vn open, as in [F1]. Since G is dense and GVn, every Vn is dense, so each Fn:=RVn is closed with empty interior; hence RG=nNFn is meager by [F2]. Now let I be any bounded interval in R. Step 1.1 gives λ1(IG)=0 because IGG, while [L3] makes I Lebesgue measurable with finite measure equal to its length; therefore [L4] applied to the disjoint union I=(IG)(IG) gives λ1(IG)=λ1(I), so the complement has full measure on every bounded interval.
