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.
Closed Souslin schemes characterize analytic sets
Statement
In ZFC, in a Polish space is analytic if and only if for a scheme of closed subsets of . Such a scheme may be chosen decreasing along extensions.
Facts & Assumptions
The Souslin operation defines the operation including the root and its decreasing normalization.
Equivalent analytic normal forms and Borel maps gives the closed-projection and Baire-image characterizations.
Assume The Axiom of Choice.
Proof
Given: The Polish space and ZFC assumptions.
For a closed scheme put . If , some n has . The open product misses . This remains true for n=0. Hence is closed and its projection, exactly by F1, is analytic by F2 and A1.
Conversely empty uses the all-empty closed scheme. If is nonempty analytic, F2 and A1 give continuous with image . Set , closed and decreasing. For each , belongs to all . If , put . Continuity gives n with ; its closure lies in the closed radius-r ball, which excludes x. Thus . Taking the branch union gives exactly . The closures, rather than the raw images, supply closed sets without changing the branch intersections. QED.

Dependency tree · two levels
10 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.
