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 XX be a separated uniform space, let η:XS(X)\eta:X\to S(X) be a Samuel compactification, and let f:XKf:X\to K be uniformly continuous, where KK is compact Hausdorff with its unique compatible uniformity. Then there is a unique uniformly continuous fˉ:S(X)K\bar f:S(X)\to K such that fˉη=f\bar f\eta=f.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The stated choice principles, a separated uniform space XX, a uniformly continuous f:XKf:X\to K, and compact Hausdorff KK.

[L2]

The gauge qh(u,v)=h(u)h(v)q_h(u,v)=|h(u)-h(v)| over continuous h:K[0,1]h:K\to[0,1] induces the topology of a completely regular space (The topology of a nonempty completely regular space is induced by the gauge of its continuous [0,1][0,1]-valued pseudometrics).

[L3]

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).

Proof

1.1

By [L1] and [L2], the gauge of the continuous maps h:K[0,1]h:K\to[0,1] is a compatible uniformity on KK, hence it is the unique compatible uniformity of KK.

2.1

For such hh, [L1] makes hh uniformly continuous, so hfh\circ f is a Samuel coordinate; therefore every finite basic entourage of the gauge in step 1.1 has Samuel-entourage preimage under ff.

Thus f:(X,US)Kf:(X,\mathcal U_S)\to K is uniformly continuous, while KK is complete and separated by [L1] and [L3].

Apply [L3] to the Samuel completion to obtain the unique uniformly continuous extension fˉ:S(X)K\bar f:S(X)\to K.

By [L4] this completion is the Samuel compactification claimed in the statement, and its dense canonical image also gives uniqueness among continuous extensions.
