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.
Mod-null invariant sets have strict representatives
Statement
If in a measure-preserving system, then belongs to and satisfies . This does not require completeness or a choice axiom.
Facts & Assumptions
The invariant families consist of the stated measurable sets Both invariant families are sigma-algebras.
Nonnegative iterates preserve measure; only the choice-free iteration clause is used Compositions, iterates and completions preserve invariance.
Finite and countable unions of measurable null sets are null Finite and countable subadditivity of measures.
Proof
Given: The objects and hypotheses in the statement.
Write , which is measurable and null. For , : whenever membership at times zero and n differs, it differs at a consecutive pair. Iterates preserve measure, so every set on the right is null; finite subadditivity makes the left null. For n=0 the difference is empty.
The displayed countable intersection and unions make F measurable. Outside the measurable null set all these indicators equal , so membership in their limsup equals membership in E. Thus and its measure is zero.
Pulling back the displayed formula gives : removing the initial term does not change membership infinitely often. Hence F is strictly invariant and is the required representative.

Dependency tree · two levels
12 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.
