Complete Metrizability, Čech-Completeness, and Baire Category: Examples and Counterexamples

About this page
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.

✓ 5 results · all verified · 0 also independently AI-judged
Every result on this page is machine-checked by a proof checker and read in full and owner-audited; the judge is an additional, independent cross-model AI review of the proofs. The 5 not AI-judged were verified by owner audit (typically over a confirmed judge false positive), not failures.

False statement

FALSE: every Baire space is completely metrizable

False statement

FALSE: the rational numbers form a Baire space

Example

Cylinder sets and continued fractions exhibit the homeomorphism ℕ^ℕ≅ℝ∖ℚ

Example

Under the Axiom of Choice, the Hilbert cube is compact, Polish, and universal for separable metrizable spaces

Corollary

Under Dependent Choice, nowhere differentiable functions form a residual subset of C([0,1],ℝ)

False statement

FALSE: every metrizable space is Čech-complete
