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 Lipschitz self-map of carries Lebesgue null sets to Lebesgue null sets
Statement
Let and assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()). Let be Lipschitz for the Euclidean metric (Lipschitz map, -Hölder map for rational , and contraction, as the set of functions , and , , are metrics on it) and let satisfy . Then is Lebesgue measurable and
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A natural number , the Axiom of Countable Choice, a Lipschitz map of into itself, and a set with .
Assuming countable choice, if and only if is null in the covering sense of closed-cube covers (A subset of has Lebesgue outer measure zero if and only if it is null in the sense of countable closed-cube covers, Measure zero and content zero in by countable and finite cube covers).
Assuming countable choice, every with is Lebesgue measurable with (Assuming countable choice, is a sigma-algebra containing every elementary set and is a complete measure extending elementary volume).
If is Lipschitz and is null, then is null (A Lipschitz map sends null sets to null sets).
is Lipschitz with constant if for all (Lipschitz map, -Hölder map for rational , and contraction).
Proof
By the agreement theorem, says exactly that is null in the covering sense of closed-cube covers.
The published theorem on Lipschitz images therefore applies and gives that is null in that same covering sense, so the agreement theorem read the other way gives ; completeness then makes Lebesgue measurable with .
