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.
Every Lebesgue measurable proper subgroup of is null, and and are instances
Example
Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice. If is Lebesgue measurable and proper, then . In particular both and are Lebesgue null subgroups of the line.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Countable Choice.
A Lebesgue measurable subgroup of of positive measure is all of (A Lebesgue measurable subgroup of of positive measure is all of ).
Every at most countable subset of is Lebesgue null (Every at most countable subset of is Lebesgue null; in particular ).
The rationals are countably infinite ( is countably infinite).
The real numbers are uncountable ( is uncountable (Cantor's nested intervals, 1874)).
Verification
If is measurable and proper, then the contrapositive of [L1] gives .
The integers and rationals are at most countable subgroups of , so [L2] gives them Lebesgue measure zero; they are proper because [F1] and [F2] show , and .
Step 1.1 uses measurability in an essential way: it says nothing about subgroups of that are not Lebesgue measurable.
Depends on
- A Lebesgue measurable subgroup of $(\mathbb{R}^n,+)$ of positive measure is all of $\mathbb{R}^n$
- Every at most countable subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is Lebesgue null; in particular $\lambda_1(\mathbb{Q})=0$
- $\mathbb{Q}$ is countably infinite
- $\mathbb{R}$ is uncountable (Cantor's nested intervals, 1874)
- The Axiom of Countable Choice ($\mathrm{AC}_\omega$)

Dependency tree · two levels
55 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
