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 the ultrafilter lemma the Samuel completion is compact, and under dependent choice plus the ultrafilter lemma it compactifies every separated uniform space
Statement
Assume the ultrafilter lemma. Every Samuel completion is compact. If dependent choice is also assumed and is separated, then the same map, read from with its original induced topology, makes a Samuel compactification.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A uniform space , a Samuel completion , the ultrafilter lemma, and, for the final assertion, dependent choice and separatedness of .
The Samuel uniformity is totally bounded (The Samuel uniformity is totally bounded).
A Hausdorff completion has complete separated target, dense image, and uniformly continuous canonical map; its canonical map is a uniform embedding exactly for separated source uniformity (A Hausdorff completion of a uniform space and its canonical dense map, Every uniform space has a Hausdorff completion with dense canonical image, and the canonical map is a uniform embedding exactly when the original uniformity is separated, The Samuel completion and, when compactifying, the Samuel compactification).
A dense uniformly continuous image of a totally bounded uniform space is totally bounded (Total boundedness passes to a uniform space with a dense uniformly continuous image).
Under the ultrafilter lemma, every complete totally bounded uniform space is compact (Assuming the ultrafilter lemma, every complete and totally bounded uniform space is compact).
Under dependent choice the Samuel and original induced topologies agree; separatedness is equivalent to Hausdorffness of the induced topology, and a separated uniformizable topology is Tychonoff (Assuming dependent choice, the Samuel uniformity induces the original topology, A uniformity is separated if and only if its induced topology is Hausdorff, Assuming dependent choice, a nonempty topological space is separated-uniformizable if and only if it is Tychonoff).
Proof
The completion map has dense image and is uniformly continuous, so [L1] and [L3] make totally bounded.
The space is complete by [L2], so [L4] makes it compact under the ultrafilter lemma.
Under dependent choice, [L5] identifies the original and Samuel topologies; if is separated, the Samuel uniformity is separated as well, so is a uniform embedding for and a topological embedding for the original topology.
The image is dense by [L2], the source topology is Tychonoff by [L5], and step 1.2 gives compact Hausdorff target; hence the pair is a compactification and therefore a Samuel compactification.
