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:XX^\eta:X\to\widehat X and a uniformly continuous f:XYf:X\to Y into a complete separated uniform space YY, there is a unique uniformly continuous f^:X^Y\widehat f:\widehat X\to Y with f^η=f\widehat f\eta=f. Consequently Hausdorff completions are unique up to a unique uniform isomorphism commuting with their canonical maps.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A Hausdorff completion η:XX^\eta:X\to\widehat X and a uniformly continuous f:XYf:X\to Y with YY complete and separated.

[L1]

The minimal-Cauchy-filter construction gives a Hausdorff completion ηc:XXc\eta_c:X\to X_c (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 XcX_c 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 XcX_c. For a minimal Cauchy filter MXc\mathcal M\in X_c, its image filter fM:={BY:f1[B]M}f_*\mathcal M:=\{B\subseteq Y:f^{-1}[B]\in\mathcal M\} is Cauchy: for a target entourage VV, uniform continuity supplies a source entourage EE whose EE-related pairs have VV-related images, and an EE-small member of M\mathcal M has VV-small image. Completeness gives a limit, which is unique by separatedness. Define f^c(M)\widehat f_c(\mathcal M) to be that limit.

2.1

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

step 1.1L1L2
2.2

The map f^c\widehat f_c is uniformly continuous. Given a target entourage VV, choose a symmetric WW with W3VW^{\circ3}\subseteq V, and a source entourage EE whose EE-related pairs have WW-related images. If ME^N\mathcal M\,\widehat E\,\mathcal N, take witnesses AMA\in\mathcal M and BNB\in\mathcal N with A×BEA\times B\subseteq E. Since the image filters converge to f^c(M)\widehat f_c(\mathcal M) and f^c(N)\widehat f_c(\mathcal N), respectively, their members f[A]f[A] and f[B]f[B] meet the corresponding WW-balls. Thus the two limits are related by WWWVW\circ W\circ W\subseteq V.

3.1

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

4.1

Now let η:XX^\eta:X\to\widehat X be an arbitrary Hausdorff completion. Step 3.1 applied to η\eta gives a uniformly continuous T:XcX^T:X_c\to\widehat X with Tηc=ηT\eta_c=\eta. For zX^z\in\widehat X, let Fz\mathcal F_z be the filter on XX generated by the sets AV(z):={xX:(η(x),z)V},A_V(z):=\{x\in X:(\eta(x),z)\in V\}, where VV ranges over symmetric entourages of X^\widehat 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^\widehat X, shows that Fz\mathcal F_z is Cauchy. Define S(z):=m(Fz)XcS(z):=m(\mathcal F_z)\in X_c.

5.1

The same pullback calculation gives Sη=ηcS\eta=\eta_c. It also proves that SS is uniformly continuous: for a basic E^\widehat E of XcX_c, choose a symmetric source entourage DD with D3ED^{\circ3}\subseteq E, then a symmetric target entourage VV whose pullback lies in DD and a symmetric WW with W3VW^{\circ3}\subseteq V. If (z,z)W(z,z')\in W, then AW(z)×AW(z)A_W(z)\times A_W(z') is DD-small across the two filters; enlarging these sets by DD gives members of their associated minimal filters whose cross product lies in D3ED^{\circ3}\subseteq E. Hence (S(z),S(z))E^(S(z),S(z'))\in\widehat E.

6.1

The maps ST:XcXcST:X_c\to X_c and TS:X^X^TS:\widehat X\to\widehat X agree with the respective identity maps on the dense images of XX. By [L4] they are the identity maps. Thus TT and SS are inverse uniform isomorphisms, uniquely so because any competing map agrees with TT on the dense image.

7.1

For the original map f:XYf:X\to Y, the composite f^:=f^cS:X^Y\widehat f:=\widehat f_c\circ S:\widehat X\to Y is uniformly continuous and satisfies f^η=f\widehat f\eta=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.
