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 C^1 diffeomorphism maps Lebesgue null sets to Lebesgue null sets

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice ACω. Let U,V⊆Rn be open and let T:U→V be a C1 diffeomorphism. If N⊆U is Lebesgue null, then T(N) is Lebesgue null.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Countable Choice, open sets U,V⊆Rn, a C1 diffeomorphism T:U→V, and a Lebesgue null set N⊆U.

[L1]

Lipschitz self-maps of Euclidean space send closed-cube-cover null sets to closed-cube-cover null sets (A Lipschitz map Rm→Rm sends null sets to null sets).

[L2]

Under Countable Choice, a subset of Rn is Lebesgue null exactly when it is null in this closed-cube-cover sense (A subset of Rm has Lebesgue outer measure zero if and only if it is null in the sense of countable closed-cube covers, The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)).

[L3]

Lebesgue measure is countably subadditive (Finite and countable subadditivity of measures).

[A1]

The rational closed cubes of positive side length lying in U form a countable family and their interiors cover U (Q is countably infinite). For each such cube Q, continuity of DT bounds its derivative on the compact convex cube, so the mean-value inequality makes T∣Q Lipschitz. The coordinatewise clamp rQ:Rn→Q is 1-Lipschitz; hence SQ=T∘rQ is a global Lipschitz extension agreeing with T on Q. These formulas define the extensions from the cubes without a countable selection.

1.1A1L1L2

Enumerate the rational cubes of [A1] as (Qj) and write N=⋃j(N∩Qj). By [L2], each N∩Qj is closed-cube-cover null. The global Lipschitz extension SQj from [A1] agrees with T on Qj, so [L1] makes SQj(N∩Qj)=T(N∩Qj) closed-cube-cover null. Applying [L2] again shows that each image is Lebesgue null.

2.1L3step 1.1∎

Since T(N)=⋃jT(N∩Qj), [L3] implies λn(T(N))≤∑jλn(T(N∩Qj))=0. Hence T(N) is Lebesgue null.
