Recently I am writing something up for possible publication. I am struggling with this question:
What is the most appropriate way to cite others' results as a Lemma?
For example, this is a theorem of Arhangelskii's:
Theorem 3.7 Suppose that $X$ is a regular space with a strong rank 1-digonal. Then any bounded subset $Y$ of $X$ is a Moore space.
I want to cite his theorem, however I don't need so much. (Note that if $X$ is a pseudocompact, then it is bounded.) I think if I cite the original theorem, it seems wordy, since I will need to explain not only pseudocompactness but also bounded set. Indeed, I want to write a Lemma as follows:
Lemma [I will note where it is from]: Suppose that $X$ is a regular pseudocompact space with a strong rank 1-diagonal. Then $X$ is a Moore space.
Could I directly do this?
Thanks for your help.
Either:
In the first case you should instead state your Lemma without attribution to Arhangelskii and write
In the second case you absolutely must give the definition of boundedness and give the proof that pseudocompactness implies it.
