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 sigma-finite premeasure has at most one extension to its generated sigma-algebra
Statement
A sigma-finite premeasure has at most one measure extension to the sigma-algebra generated by its source algebra.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A sigma-finite premeasure on , a sequence in covering with finite premeasure, and extensions on .
A premeasure on an algebra vanishes at the empty set and is countably additive whenever a disjoint sequence in has its union in . (Premeasures on algebras of sets)
An algebra of subsets is nonempty and is closed under finite unions and intersections. (Algebras of subsets)
A pi-system on is a nonempty family of subsets closed under binary intersections. (Pi-systems)
If two measures agree on a generating pi-system and on an increasing exhaustion from that pi-system with and equal finite values on every , then the measures are equal on the generated sigma-algebra. (Measures agreeing on a generating pi-system are equal under an increasing finite-measure exhaustion from that pi-system)
Proof
Put . By [F2], , the sequence is increasing with union , and finite additivity from [F1] gives .
The algebra is nonempty and closed under intersections by [F2], hence is a pi-system by [F3]; it generates , and both extensions agree with on it and on the exhaustion from step 1.1.
Applying [L1] to the generating pi-system and the increasing finite-measure exhaustion of step 2.1 gives on .

Dependency tree · two levels
12 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.
