Coordinatewise Convergence, Sequential Compactness and Density in a Product Metric Space
lemmaAnalysisTopologylem:product-metric-sequential-2026aLet and be metric spaces, let be the Cartesian product of the underlying sets, and let be the product metric, which is a metric by claim 1 of The Product Metric is a Metric. Let denote the natural numbers. Write , and for the collections of subsets open in , in and in respectively; each is a topology on the corresponding set by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology.
Then the following hold.
1. (Coordinatewise convergence.) Let be a sequence in , written with and , and let . Then converges to in if and only if converges to in and converges to in .
2. (Products of sequentially compact sets.) Let be sequentially compact in and let be sequentially compact in . Then is sequentially compact in .
3. (Products of dense sets.) Let be dense in for and let be dense in for . Then is dense in for . If moreover and are countable, then is countable.
