  • If is a set, their disjoint union is the set
  • Given an indexed family of topological spaces is a topological space, we define the disjoint union topology on by declaring a subset of to be open if and only if its intersection with each is open in .

  1. Let be a second-countable topological space. Every open cover of has a countable subcover.
  2. CHARACTERISTIC P ROPERTY: If are topological spaces, a map is continuous if and only if each of its component functions is continuous.
  3. The product topology is the unique topology on for which the characteristic property holds
  4. Given any continuous maps for , the product map
    is continuous, where for all
  5. If is a subspace of for , the product topology and the subspace topology on coincide.
  6. For any and any choices of points for , the map is a topological embedding of into the product space .
  7. Any product of Hausdorff spaces is Hausdorff.
  8. Countable product of first-countable spaces is first-countable.
  9. Countable product of second-countable spaces is second-countable.
  10. (Properties of the Disjoint Union Topology). Suppose is a topological space, and is endowed with the disjoint union topology.
  11. CHARACTERISTIC P ROPERTY: If is a topological space, a map is continuous if and only if is continuous for each . where
  12. The disjoint union topology is the unique topology on for which the characteristic property holds.
  13. A subset of is closed if and only if its intersection with each is closed.
