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, L(Rn) is a sigma-algebra containing every elementary set and λn is a complete measure extending elementary volume

Statement

Let n≥1 and assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)). Then:

  1. L(Rn) is a sigma-algebra on Rn and λn is a measure on it (Measures on sigma-algebras);
  2. the measure space (Rn,L(Rn),λn) is complete (Complete measure spaces), and every S⊆Rn with λn∗(S)=0 is Lebesgue measurable with λn(S)=0;
  3. every elementary set is Lebesgue measurable and λn(A)=μ0(A) for every A∈En; in particular λn(B)=vol⁡(B) for every half-open box B, λn(∅)=0 and λn(Rn)=+∞.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A natural number n≥1, the Axiom of Countable Choice, Lebesgue outer measure λn∗, and the family L(Rn) of sets Carathéodory measurable for it.

[L1]

A set E⊆Rn is Lebesgue measurable when it is Carathéodory measurable for λn∗, the family of these is L(Rn), and λn:=λn∗ ⁣↾L(Rn) (Lebesgue measurable sets, the family L(Rn), and the restricted set function λn).

[L2]

Assuming countable choice, λn∗ is an outer measure on Rn, and λn∗(A)=μ0(A) for every elementary set A (Assuming countable choice, Lebesgue outer measure is an outer measure that restricts to elementary volume).

[L3]

λn∗ is the outer set function induced by the premeasure μ0 on the algebra En of elementary sets (Lebesgue outer measure on Rn).

[F1]

For an outer measure μ∗ on X, 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).

[F2]

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice. Every member of the source algebra is Carathéodory measurable for the induced outer measure (Assuming countable choice, every source-algebra set is measurable for the induced outer measure).

[F3]

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice. If μ0 is a premeasure on an algebra A0 of subsets of X and μ∗ is its induced outer set function, then A0⊆Mμ∗ and μ∗∣A0=μ0 (Assuming countable choice, a premeasure extends through its induced outer measure).

[F4]

Every set of outer measure zero, and every subset of it, is Carathéodory measurable and has outer measure zero (Every outer-null set is Carathéodory measurable).

[F5]

A measure space (X,A,μ) is complete if every subset of every measurable μ-null set is measurable (Complete measure spaces); and a measure on (X,A) is a function μ:A→[0,+∞] with μ(∅)=0 that is countably additive on pairwise disjoint sequences (Measures on sigma-algebras).

[F6]

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

Proof

technique · direct
1.1L1L2F1F5F6

Under countable choice λn∗ is an outer measure on Rn, so [F1] applies to it: its Carathéodory measurable sets, which are by definition the members of L(Rn), form a sigma-algebra, and the restriction λn of λn∗ to it is a complete measure.

1.2L1L3L4F2F3F6

Since λn∗ is the outer set function induced by the premeasure μ0 on En, the extension theorem and the source-algebra lemma give En⊆L(Rn) and λn∗(A)=μ0(A) there; a half-open box and ∅ and Rn are elementary, so λn(B)=vol⁡(B), λn(∅)=0 and λn(Rn)=+∞.

1.3L1F4

A set S with λn∗(S)=0 is Carathéodory measurable for λn∗, hence Lebesgue measurable, and its measure is its outer measure, namely 0.

Claim 1 and the completeness half of claim 2 are step 1.1, the null-set half of claim 2 is step 1.3, and claim 3 is step 1.2.
