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.

Open subspaces and residual subspaces of Baire spaces are Baire

Statement

Every open subspace of a Baire space is Baire. Every residual subspace of a Baire space, with its subspace topology, is Baire.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The objects, hypotheses, and choice principles stated above.

[F1]

For a topological space X, the following are equivalent: every countable intersection of dense open sets is dense; every countable union of closed sets with empty interior has empty interior; no nonempty open subset is meagre in X; and every residual subset meets every nonempty open set. The equivalence includes the empty space. (Equivalent forms of the Baire property).

[F2]

For every topological space X, the meagre subsets of X contain , are closed under taking subsets, and are closed under countable unions. (The meagre subsets of a topological space form a sigma-ideal).

[F3]

Let (X,T) be a topological space (def-topological-space) and let SX. The subspace topology (also relative topology) on S is TS:={US:UT}, the family of traces on S of the open sets of X. The pair (S,TS) is a subspace of X. A subset of S that lies in TS is said to be open in S, and relatively open where the ambient space needs emphasis. (Subspace topology: the traces of the open sets, its closed sets and its bases, the continuity of the inclusion, and the characteristic property of a map into a subspace).

Proof

1.1

For an open subspace, translate dense-open tests into the ambient open set.

2.1

For a residual subspace, first note it is dense unless the ambient space is empty, show a relatively nowhere dense set is ambiently nowhere dense, and use the sigma-ideal and nonmeagre-open characterisation.
