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.
Open sets are Caratheodory measurable for the RMK outer measure
Statement
Every open subset of is Caratheodory measurable for the RMK outer measure . Consequently the Caratheodory measurable sets form a complete sigma-algebra containing the Borel sigma-algebra, and the restriction is a Borel measure.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The RMK outer measure .
The Caratheodory theorem turns the measurable sets of an outer measure into a complete measure space. (Carathéodory's theorem: measurable sets form a sigma-algebra carrying a complete measure)
Proof
Fix open and . Put [given] . For any , the supports of and are disjoint, so . Hence . Since , . Taking the supremum over therefore gives
For arbitrary and open , monotonicity and step 1.1 [step 1.1] give Infimizing over gives the hard Caratheodory inequality; outer subadditivity gives the reverse inequality.
Therefore every open is Caratheodory measurable. By [L1], the measurable sets form a complete sigma-algebra; since they contain all opens, they contain , and the restriction is a Borel measure.

Dependency tree · two levels
14 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
