Let (X,dX) and (Y,dY) be metric spaces, let X×Y be the Cartesian product of the underlying sets, and let dX×Y be the product metric, which is a metric by claim 1 of The Product Metric is a Metric. Let N denote the natural numbers. Write TX, TY and TX×Y for the collections of subsets open in (X,dX), in (Y,dY) and in (X×Y,dX×Y) respectively; each is a topology on the corresponding set by The Open Subsets of a Metric Space Form a Topology.
Then the following hold.
1. (Coordinatewise convergence.) Let (zm)m∈N be a sequence in X×Y, written zm=(xm,ym) with xm∈X and ym∈Y, and let z=(x,y)∈X×Y. Then (zm)m∈N converges to z in (X×Y,dX×Y) if and only if (xm)m∈N converges to x in (X,dX) and (ym)m∈N converges to y in (Y,dY).
2. (Products of sequentially compact sets.) Let K⊆X be sequentially compact in (X,dX) and let M⊆Y be sequentially compact in (Y,dY). Then K×M is sequentially compact in (X×Y,dX×Y).
3. (Products of dense sets.) Let D⊆X be dense in X for TX and let E⊆Y be dense in Y for TY. Then D×E is dense in X×Y for TX×Y. If moreover D and E are countable, then D×E is countable.
