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.
Under the ultrafilter lemma, every ultrafilter algebra determines a compact Hausdorff topology
Statement
Assume UL/BPI. For every ultrafilter algebra , the topology induced by is compact and Hausdorff.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: UL/BPI and an ultrafilter algebra .
The open-set family induced by an ultrafilter algebra is a topology (The open-set family induced by an ultrafilter algebra is a topology).
Under UL/BPI, every ultrafilter has exactly one limit in the induced topology, namely its algebra value (Under the ultrafilter lemma, an ultrafilter algebra maps each ultrafilter to its unique limit).
Under the ultrafilter lemma, a space is compact if and only if every ultrafilter on it converges (Assuming the ultrafilter lemma, compactness is equivalent to every net having a cluster point, every net having a convergent subnet, every filter having a cluster point, and every ultrafilter converging).
The ultrafilter extension principle says that every filter on a set is contained in an ultrafilter on that set (The ultrafilter extension principle (UL/BPI)).
Proof
Equip with the topology supplied by [L1].
By [L2], every ultrafilter on converges, and its limit is unique.
The equivalence in [L3] applied to step 1.2 proves that the induced topology is compact.
If distinct had no disjoint neighbourhoods, the union of their two neighbourhood filters would have the finite-intersection property. By [L4] it extends to an ultrafilter converging to both and , contradicting uniqueness in step 1.2. Hence the topology is Hausdorff, with the empty and singleton cases vacuous.
Steps 2.1 and 2.2 prove that the induced topology is compact Hausdorff.
