If ∀t∈T,Xt is a set, their disjoint union is the set ⨆t∈TXt={(x,t)∣x∈Xt,t∈T}
Given an indexed family of topological spaces ∀t∈T,Xt is a topological space, we define the disjoint union topology on ⨆t∈TXt by declaring a subset of ⨆t∈TXt to be open if and only if its intersection with each Xt is open in Xt.

Let X be a second-countable topological space. Every open cover of X has a countable subcover.
CHARACTERISTIC P ROPERTY: If ∀t∈T,(Xt,τt) are topological spaces, a map F:B→∏t∈TXt is continuous if and only if each of its component functions Ft=πt∘F:B→Xt is continuous.
The product topology is the unique topology on ∏t∈TXt for which the characteristic property holds
Given any continuous maps Ft:Xt→Yt for t∈T, the product map F:∏t∈TXt→∏t∈TYt is continuous, where Ft(x)=Ft(xt) for all x∈∏t∈TXt
If St is a subspace of Xt for t∈T, the product topology and the subspace topology on ∏t∈TSt⊆∏t∈TXt coincide.
For any t∈T and any choices of points aj∈Xj for j=i, the map x↦(xt,t∈T∣xi=x∧xj=aj) is a topological embedding of Xi into the product space ∏X1.
Any product of Hausdorff spaces is Hausdorff.
Countable product of first-countable spaces is first-countable.
Countable product of second-countable spaces is second-countable.
(Properties of the Disjoint Union Topology). Suppose ∀t∈T,Xt is a topological space, and ⋃t∈TXt is endowed with the disjoint union topology.
CHARACTERISTIC P ROPERTY: If Y is a topological space, a map F:⨆t∈TXt→Y is continuous if and only if F∘ιt:Xt→Y is continuous for each t∈T. where ιt:Xt→⨆t∈TXt:x↦(x,t)
The disjoint union topology is the unique topology on ⨆t∈TXt for which the characteristic property holds.
A subset of ⨆t∈TXt is closed if and only if its intersection with each Xt is closed.
