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.
Under dependent choice and the ultrafilter lemma, uniformly continuous maps to compact Hausdorff spaces extend uniquely over the Samuel compactification
Statement
Assume dependent choice and the ultrafilter lemma. Let be a separated uniform space, let be a Samuel compactification, and let be uniformly continuous, where is compact Hausdorff with its unique compatible uniformity. Then there is a unique uniformly continuous such that .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The stated choice principles, a separated uniform space , a uniformly continuous , and compact Hausdorff .
A compact Hausdorff topology has exactly one compatible uniformity; that uniformity is separated, the topology is Tychonoff under dependent choice, and its continuous maps to uniform spaces are uniformly continuous (A nonempty compact Hausdorff space carries exactly one compatible uniformity, A uniformity is separated if and only if its induced topology is Hausdorff, Under dependent choice a compact Hausdorff space is Tychonoff, and its disjoint closed sets are separated by continuous functions, Every continuous map from a nonempty compact Hausdorff space to a uniform space is uniformly continuous).
The gauge over continuous induces the topology of a completely regular space (The topology of a nonempty completely regular space is induced by the gauge of its continuous -valued pseudometrics).
A compact uniform space is complete, and a uniformly continuous map from a uniform space to a complete separated uniform space extends uniquely over its Hausdorff completion (Every compact uniform space is complete, 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).
Under the two choice principles, a Samuel completion of separated is a Samuel compactification (Under the ultrafilter lemma the Samuel completion is compact, and under dependent choice plus the ultrafilter lemma it compactifies every separated uniform space).
Proof
By [L1] and [L2], the gauge of the continuous maps is a compatible uniformity on , hence it is the unique compatible uniformity of .
For such , [L1] makes uniformly continuous, so is a Samuel coordinate; therefore every finite basic entourage of the gauge in step 1.1 has Samuel-entourage preimage under .
Thus is uniformly continuous, while is complete and separated by [L1] and [L3].
Apply [L3] to the Samuel completion to obtain the unique uniformly continuous extension .
By [L4] this completion is the Samuel compactification claimed in the statement, and its dense canonical image also gives uniqueness among continuous extensions.
