Problem proving that topology product is a topology

Given $(X,mathcal{F}),(Y,mathcal{F}')$ two topological spaces, we define for $X times Y$ the topology product as $$mathcal{F}_{prod} := {cup_{k in K}(U_k times V_k) : U_k in mathcal{F}, V_k in mathcal{F}'}.$$



How we can prove that verify the second condition of a topology (that is, the union of elements also belongs to $mathcal{F}_{prod}$)?



We get $cup_i (cup_{k_i} (U_{k_i} times V_{k_i})) = cup_{k_i} (cup_i (U_{k_i} times V_{k_i})) = ...$?

    Really it is $(A times B) cup (A' times B') subset (A cup A') times (B cup B') = (A times B) cup (A' times B') cup (A times B') cup (A' times B).$ I think is not valid your argument.

    If you let $bigsqcup_{iin I} K_i = { (i, k) mid i in I, k in K_i }$, then $bigcup_i (bigcup_{k_i} (U_{k_i} times V_{k_i})) = bigcup_{(i, k_i) in bigsqcup_{iin I} K_i} (U_{k_i} times V_{k_i})$.

A union of unions of open boxes is again a union of open boxes.



That’s the whole essence as to unions. If you want formula:
Suppose we have $O_i = bigcup_{j in K_i} (U_j times V_j)$, where for each $i$ we have an index set $K_i$ that we take the union of open boxes over (we can always ensure that these index sets are pairwise disjoint for convenience, which we'll assume), then:



$$ bigcup_{i in I} O_i = bigcup_i left(bigcup_{j in K_i} (U_j times V_j)right) = bigcup_{j in bigcup_{iin I} K_i} (U_j times V_j)$$



For finite intersections observe that $$left(bigcup_{iin I} (U_i times V_i)right) cap left( bigcup_{j in J} (U_j times V_j) right)= bigcup_{(i,j) in I times J} (U_i cap U_j) times (V_i cap V_j) $$



which is again of the same form.

    There is something missing in your definition of the product topology: what is $K$? I think the definition you want is that, for every set $K$ and every function $U colon K ni k mapsto U_k in T_X$ and $V: K ni k mapsto V_k in T_Y$, the set $bigcup_{k in K} U_k times V_k$ is open in the product topology. (There is a little set theory to show this is a valid definition, but it seems to be what the notation is supposed to suggest.)



    In this case, given one open set given by $K$ and one given by $K'$, we can assume wlog that $K$ and $K'$ are disjoint, let
    $K'' = K cup K'$, let $U''_k = U_k$ for $k in K$ and $U''_k = U_{k}'$ for $ k in K'$, and similarly for $V''$, and then
    the union is given by $bigcup_{k in k''} U''_k times V''_k$.



    If we avoid the confused notation, what the problem is claiming is just that the family ${ U times V : u in T_X, V in T_Y}$ is a basis for the product topology.

            • How you are defined $U_k'' = U_k$ and $U_k''=U_{k'}$ simultaneosly?

            • @user540275: wlog we can assume $K$ and $K'$ are disjoint, so each $k in K times K'$ is only in one of them.

            • Maybe it makes more sense for me to write it as $U'_k$, the function corresponding to $K'$ evaluated at $k$.
