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 given ultrafilter on a compact Hausdorff space has a unique limit

Statement

Every ultrafilter on a compact Hausdorff space converges to exactly one point. This statement concerns a given ultrafilter and uses no ultrafilter-extension or other choice principle.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A compact Hausdorff space X and an ultrafilter U on X.

[L1]

Compactness is equivalent to the assertion that every family of closed subsets with the finite-intersection property has nonempty intersection (A space is compact exactly when every family of closed subsets with the finite intersection property has nonempty intersection).

[L2]

Every cluster point of an ultrafilter is a limit of that ultrafilter (Every cluster point of an ultrafilter is a limit of that ultrafilter).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1

The closed members of U have the finite-intersection property: a finite intersection remains in the filter and cannot be empty.

2.1

By compactness and [L1], choose a point x in the intersection of all closed members of U. If X=, no ultrafilter exists, so the universal assertion is vacuous.

step 1.1L1choose
3.1

For every AU, its closure also belongs to U and contains x; hence every neighbourhood of x meets every member of U. Thus x is a cluster point and therefore a limit by [L2].

step 2.1L2
4.1

If x and y were distinct limits, [L3] would give disjoint open neighbourhoods V of x and W of y. Both would belong to U, forcing VW= into the filter, a contradiction. Hence the limit is unique, including in a singleton space.

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.
