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.

Content and measure have the same null sets

Statement

For a subset A of any metric space and finite s≥0,

H∞s(A)=0⟺(∀δ∈(0,∞)) Hδs(A)=0⟺Hs(A)=0.

This is equality of null-set classes, not equality of the set functions.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The objects, conventions, and hypotheses in the statement above.

[F1]

Hs is the supremum of finite-scale contents, each at least the unrestricted content. Unnormalised Hausdorff measure

Proof

1.1F1

Suppose s>0 and H∞s(A)=0. Given finite δ>0 and ε>0, take a cover with cost less than min⁡(ε,δs). Each diameter is strictly below δ, so Hδs(A)<ε. Therefore every scale value is zero.

1.2F1

When s=0, any nonempty member costs one. Content less than one forces the empty family, hence A=∅. All its scale values are zero. This deals with empty and singleton possibilities without division by the exponent.

2.1F1step 1.1step 1.2∎

If all finite-scale values vanish their supremum vanishes. Conversely, a zero supremum forces all those nonnegative values, and then the smaller unrestricted content, to vanish. These implications complete both equivalences.

Dependency tree · two levels

6 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.
