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.

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

Statement

For a Hausdorff completion η:X→X^ and a uniformly continuous f:X→Y into a complete separated uniform space Y, there is a unique uniformly continuous f^:X^→Y with f^η=f. Consequently Hausdorff completions are unique up to a unique uniform isomorphism commuting with their canonical maps.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A Hausdorff completion η:X→X^ and a uniformly continuous f:X→Y with Y complete and separated.

[L1]

The minimal-Cauchy-filter construction gives a Hausdorff completion ηc:X→Xc (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), and every Cauchy filter has a canonical associated minimal Cauchy filter (Every Cauchy filter canonically determines a unique minimal Cauchy filter coarser than it).

[L3]

The basic entourages of Xc declare two minimal Cauchy filters close when they have cross-close members (The standard entourages on minimal Cauchy filters form a separated uniformity), and symmetric entourages with prescribed finite-composite control exist (Every uniformity has a base of symmetric entourages).

[L4]

Uniformly continuous maps are continuous, and two continuous maps into a Hausdorff space that agree on a dense subset agree everywhere (Every uniformly continuous map is continuous for the induced topologies, Two continuous maps into a Hausdorff space that agree on a dense subset are equal).

[A1]

A Hausdorff completion has dense image and its source uniformity is exactly the pullback of the target uniformity (A Hausdorff completion of a uniform space and its canonical dense map).

Proof

technique · constructive
1.1

First use the canonical completion Xc. For a minimal Cauchy filter M∈Xc, its image filter f∗M:={B⊆Y:f−1[B]∈M} is Cauchy: for a target entourage V, uniform continuity supplies a source entourage E whose E-related pairs have V-related images, and an E-small member of M has V-small image. Completeness gives a limit, which is unique by separatedness. Define f^c(M) to be that limit.

2.1

For x∈X, the image under f of the minimal point filter ηc(x) converges to f(x): for a neighbourhood ball V[f(x)], uniform continuity supplies a source ball at x whose image lies in it. Therefore f^cηc=f.

step 1.1L1L2
2.2

The map f^c is uniformly continuous. Given a target entourage V, choose a symmetric W with W∘3⊆V, and a source entourage E whose E-related pairs have W-related images. If M E^ N, take witnesses A∈M and B∈N with A×B⊆E. Since the image filters converge to f^c(M) and f^c(N), respectively, their members f[A] and f[B] meet the corresponding W-balls. Thus the two limits are related by W∘W∘W⊆V.

step 1.1L2L3
3.1

Any two uniformly continuous extensions across ηc agree on the dense set ηc[X], hence agree everywhere by [L4]. Thus the canonical completion has the asserted extension property.

4.1

Now let η:X→X^ be an arbitrary Hausdorff completion. Step 3.1 applied to η gives a uniformly continuous T:Xc→X^ with Tηc=η. For z∈X^, let Fz be the filter on X generated by the sets AV(z):={x∈X:(η(x),z)∈V}, where V ranges over symmetric entourages of X^. Density makes these sets nonempty; intersections are refined by intersecting entourages. The pullback condition in [A1], together with a symmetric square root in X^, shows that Fz is Cauchy. Define S(z):=m(Fz)∈Xc.

5.1

The same pullback calculation gives Sη=ηc. It also proves that S is uniformly continuous: for a basic E^ of Xc, choose a symmetric source entourage D with D∘3⊆E, then a symmetric target entourage V whose pullback lies in D and a symmetric W with W∘3⊆V. If (z,z′)∈W, then AW(z)×AW(z′) is D-small across the two filters; enlarging these sets by D gives members of their associated minimal filters whose cross product lies in D∘3⊆E. Hence (S(z),S(z′))∈E^.

step 4.1L1L3A1
6.1

The maps ST:Xc→Xc and TS:X^→X^ agree with the respective identity maps on the dense images of X. By [L4] they are the identity maps. Thus T and S are inverse uniform isomorphisms, uniquely so because any competing map agrees with T on the dense image.

step 4.1step 5.1L1L2L4
7.1

For the original map f:X→Y, the composite f^:=f^c∘S:X^→Y is uniformly continuous and satisfies f^η=f. Uniqueness follows from density and [L4]. Consequently every Hausdorff completion has the extension property, and step 6.1 proves uniqueness of completions up to the unique stated uniform isomorphism.
