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.
Every uniform space has a Hausdorff completion with dense canonical image, and the canonical map is a uniform embedding exactly when the original uniformity is separated
Statement
Every uniform space has a Hausdorff completion . The map has dense image, and it is a uniform embedding if and only if the original uniformity is separated.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A uniform space .
Minimal Cauchy filters carry a separated uniformity (The standard entourages on minimal Cauchy filters form a separated uniformity) and form a complete space (The uniform space of minimal Cauchy filters is complete).
Point filters define a uniformly continuous dense map , and every member of contains (The minimal Cauchy filters associated to points define a uniformly continuous dense canonical map).
A Hausdorff completion and a uniform embedding have the stated definitions (A Hausdorff completion of a uniform space and its canonical dense map, Uniform embedding and uniform isomorphism).
Separatedness is equivalent to Hausdorffness of the induced topology (A uniformity is separated if and only if its induced topology is Hausdorff).
Symmetric entourages form a base and may be chosen inside any prescribed entourage (Every uniformity has a base of symmetric entourages).
Proof
Take to be the uniform space of minimal Cauchy filters and take from [L2].
It is complete and separated by [L1], and is uniformly continuous with dense image by [L2]. It remains to verify that the pullback uniformity is not strictly coarser than the original one. Given an entourage of , choose a symmetric . If , witnesses and satisfy . Every member of the minimal point filter contains , and every member of contains ; therefore . Thus . Together with uniform continuity, this is exactly the pullback condition in [L3], so is a Hausdorff completion.
If , step 2.1 puts in every entourage of . Conversely, if belongs to every entourage of , uniform continuity puts in every entourage of ; separatedness of gives .
Step 3.1 says that is injective exactly when is separated. When injective, the two directions of the pullback condition in step 2.1 say precisely that the corestriction and its inverse are uniformly continuous, so is a uniform embedding. Conversely every uniform embedding is injective.
This proves the completion assertion and the exact embedding criterion.

- The Samuel completion and, when compactifying, the Samuel compactification Definition
- Every uniformly continuous map into a complete Hausdorff uniform space extends uniquely across the Hausdorff completion; consequently completions are unique up to a unique uniform isomorphism Theorem
- Under the ultrafilter lemma the Samuel completion is compact, and under dependent choice plus the ultrafilter lemma it compactifies every separated uniform space Theorem
