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.

A point is a cluster point of a net if and only if some subnet converges to it

Statement

For a net x:DXx:D\to X and pXp\in X, pp is a cluster point of xx if and only if xx has a subnet converging to pp.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A net x:DXx:D\to X in a topological space and a point pXp\in X.

[A1]

A cluster point is one for which every neighbourhood is visited frequently, and convergence means eventual membership in every neighbourhood (Convergence and cluster points of a net in a topological space).

[A2]

Intersections of finitely many neighbourhoods of pp are neighbourhoods of pp (Neighbourhood of a point and neighbourhood base, with this library's convention that a neighbourhood need not be open).

[A3]

A subnet is given by an eventually cofinal index map (Subnet via an eventually cofinal index map).

Proof

1.1

Suppose pp is a cluster point. Let E={(d,N):NN(p), dD, xdN}E=\{(d,N):N\in\mathcal N(p),\ d\in D,\ x_d\in N\}, ordered by (d,N)(e,M)(d,N)\preceq(e,M) when ded\le e and MNM\subseteq N.

1.2

Conversely, suppose a subnet ye=xϕ(e)y_e=x_{\phi(e)} converges to pp. Given a neighbourhood NN and dDd\in D, choose e0e_0 after which yy lies in NN and choose e1e_1 after which ϕ(e)d\phi(e)\ge d; a common upper bound ee of e0,e1e_0,e_1 gives ϕ(e)d\phi(e)\ge d and xϕ(e)=yeNx_{\phi(e)}=y_e\in N. Hence xx is frequently in NN.

2.1

The set EE is directed: for (d,N),(e,M)E(d,N),(e,M)\in E, take hd,eh\ge d,e in DD; frequent membership in NMN\cap M gives khk\ge h with xkNMx_k\in N\cap M, and (k,NM)(k,N\cap M) is above both pairs.

2.2

Put y(d,N)=xdy_{(d,N)}=x_d and ϕ(d,N)=d\phi(d,N)=d. For every d0Dd_0\in D, the pair (d0,X)(d_0,X) lies in EE, and every later pair has first coordinate at least d0d_0. Thus ϕ\phi is eventually cofinal and yy is a subnet of xx.

step 1.1A3
2.3

For a neighbourhood NN of pp, choose (d,N)E(d,N)\in E using frequent membership in NN. Every pair later than it has second coordinate contained in NN, hence its yy-value lies in NN. Thus ypy\to p.

Steps 1.1 and 2.1--2.3 construct a convergent subnet from a cluster point, and step 1.2 gives the converse.
