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, the Carathéodory domain is the completion of the sigma-finite extension

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice and let μ0 be a sigma-finite premeasure. The Carathéodory sigma-algebra of its induced outer measure is exactly the completion of σ(A0) under the extended measure, and the Carathéodory restriction equals the completed measure there.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Countable choice, a sigma-finite premeasure, its induced outer measure μ, its generated extension μ, and the completion of that extension.

[L1]

If the premeasure is sigma-finite and E is Carathéodory measurable, there is Hσ(A0) with EH and μ(HE)=0. (Under sigma-finiteness, every Carathéodory measurable set differs from a generated measurable hull by a null set)

[L2]

Assuming countable choice, an outer measure induced by a premeasure is regular, and every set has a measurable hull in σ(A0). (Assuming countable choice, a premeasure-induced outer measure is regular with generated measurable hulls)

[L3]

The Carathéodory measurable subsets form a sigma-algebra, and the restriction of the outer measure to it is a complete measure. (Carathéodory's theorem: measurable sets form a sigma-algebra carrying a complete measure)

[L4]

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice. Let (X,A,μ) be a measure space, and let (X,A,μ) be its completion construction. Then μ is a complete measure on A extending μ. It is the unique complete measure on A that extends μ. (Assuming countable choice, every measure space has a unique complete extension to its completion)

[L5]

Assuming countable choice, the induced outer measure of a premeasure satisfies A0Mμ and μA0=μ0, so its restriction to σ(A0) is a measure extending μ0. (Assuming countable choice, a premeasure extends through its induced outer measure)

Proof

technique · direct
1.1

By [L3] the Carathéodory restriction is a complete measure, and by [L5] its sigma-algebra contains σ(A0) with the restriction there equal to μ; so it is a complete measure extending μ. Therefore its sigma-algebra contains every set AN with A,Zσ(A0), NZ, and μ(Z)=0, so it contains the completion domain of [L4].

1.2

Conversely, let E be Carathéodory measurable. By [L1] choose Hσ(A0) with EH and μ(HE)=0; by [L2] choose a generated measurable hull Zσ(A0) of HE, so HEZ and μ(Z)=0.

2.1

Since E=(HZ)(EZ), with HZ,Zσ(A0) and EZZ null, E belongs to the completion domain. Thus the domains coincide, and [L4] identifies the two complete extensions of μ on that domain.
