SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on proving that if M is an embedded submanifold of N and P is an embedded submanifold of Q, then the product M×P is an embedded submanifold of N×Q. The participants agree that this can be demonstrated by verifying that M×P satisfies the local k-slice condition or by showing that the product of smooth embeddings from the respective inclusion maps is also a smooth embedding. Both methods are confirmed to be valid approaches for establishing the proof.
