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.

Assuming countable choice, every Borel subset of Rn is Lebesgue measurable

Statement

Let n1 and assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)). Then

B(Rn)    L(Rn):

every Borel subset of Rn (The Borel sigma-algebra of a topological space) is Lebesgue measurable (Lebesgue measurable sets, the family L(Rn), and the restricted set function λn). In particular every open set, every closed set and every countable intersection of open sets is Lebesgue measurable.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A natural number n1 and the Axiom of Countable Choice.

[L1]

Assuming countable choice, L(Rn) is a sigma-algebra on Rn and every elementary set is Lebesgue measurable (Assuming countable choice, L(Rn) is a sigma-algebra containing every elementary set and λn is a complete measure extending elementary volume).

[L2]

σ(Hn)=σ(En)=B(Rn), where Hn is the family of half-open boxes and En the family of elementary sets (The sigma-algebra generated by the half-open boxes of Rn is the Borel sigma-algebra).

[L3]

At m=1 every half-open box is elementary (Elementary sets: the finite unions of half-open boxes in Rn).

[F2]

The Borel sigma-algebra of X is the sigma-algebra generated by its open sets (The Borel sigma-algebra of a topological space); a sigma-algebra on X is an algebra of subsets closed under countable unions (Sigma-algebras).

[F3]

The Axiom of Countable Choice says that for every family (Xn)nN of nonempty sets indexed by N there is a function f with domain N such that f(n)Xn for every nN (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1

Under countable choice L(Rn) is a sigma-algebra on Rn containing every elementary set, hence containing the family Hn of half-open boxes.

L1L3F2F3
2.1

Since σ(Hn) is the smallest sigma-algebra containing Hn, step 1.1 gives σ(Hn)L(Rn), and σ(Hn)=B(Rn); open sets, closed sets and countable intersections of open sets are Borel.
