Compactness Properties Preserved under Projection Mapping

Theorem
Let $I$ be an indexing set with countable cardinality.

Let $\left\langle{\left({S_\alpha, \tau_\alpha}\right)}\right \rangle_{\alpha \mathop \in I}$ be a family of topological spaces indexed by $I$.

Let $\displaystyle \left({S, \tau}\right) = \prod_{\alpha \mathop \in I} \left({S_\alpha, \tau_\alpha}\right)$ be the product space of $\left\langle{\left({S_\alpha, \tau_\alpha}\right)}\right \rangle_{\alpha \mathop \in I}$.

Let $\operatorname{pr}_\alpha: \left({S, \tau}\right) \to \left({S_\alpha, \tau_\alpha}\right)$ be the projection on the $\alpha$ coordinate.

Then $\operatorname{pr}_\alpha$ preserves the following compactness properties.

That is, if $\left({S, \tau}\right)$ has one of the following properties, then each of $\left({S_\alpha, \tau_\alpha}\right)$ has the same property:


 * Compactness
 * Sigma-Compactness
 * Countable Compactness
 * Sequential Compactness
 * Lindelöf Space
 * Local Compactness
 * Weak Local Compactness
 * Paracompactness

Proof
First note that Projection from Product Topology is Continuous.

Also note that Projection is Surjection.

It follows from Compactness Properties Preserved under Continuous Surjection that:


 * Compactness
 * Sigma-Compactness
 * Countable Compactness
 * Sequential Compactness
 * Lindelöf Space

are all preserved under projections.

Next note that Projection from Product Topology is Open.

It follows from Local Compactness is Preserved under Open Continuous Surjection that local compactness is preserved under projections.

It follows from Weak Local Compactness is Preserved under Open Continuous Surjection that weak local compactness is preserved under projections.

The final result is that Paracompactness Preserved under Projections.
