Separation Properties Preserved under Topological Product

Theorem
Let $\mathbb S = \family {\struct {S_i, \tau_i} }_{i \mathop \in I}$ be an indexed family of topological spaces where $I$ is an arbitrary index set.

Let $\ds T = \struct {S, \tau} = \prod_{i \mathop \in I} \struct{S_i, \tau_i}$ be the product space of $\mathbb S$.

Then $T$ has one of the following properties each of $\struct {S_i, \tau_i}$ has the same property:


 * $T_0$ (Kolmogorov) Property


 * $T_1$ (Fréchet) Property


 * $T_2$ (Hausdorff) Property


 * $T_{2 \frac 1 2}$ (Completely Hausdorff) Property


 * $T_3$ Property


 * $T_{3 \frac 1 2}$ Property

If $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ has one of the following properties then each of $\struct {S_i, \tau_i}$ has the same property:


 * $T_4$ Property


 * $T_5$ Property

but the converse does not necessarily hold.

Proof

 * Product Space is $T_0$ iff Factor Spaces are $T_0$


 * Product Space is $T_1$ iff Factor Spaces are $T_1$


 * Product Space is $T_2$ iff Factor Spaces are $T_2$


 * Product Space is Completely Hausdorff iff Factor Spaces are Completely Hausdorff


 * Product Space is $T_3$ iff Factor Spaces are $T_3$


 * Product Space is $T_{3 \frac 1 2}$ iff Factor Spaces are $T_{3 \frac 1 2}$


 * Factor Spaces are $T_4$ if Product Space is $T_4$


 * Factor Spaces are $T_5$ if Product Space is $T_5$
