Question about elementary topology

Click For Summary
The product of closed sets is indeed closed in the product topology, both for finite and infinite products. In finite products, the basis consists of the product of open sets from each space. For infinite products, a different basis is required, but the closure property still holds. The discussion confirms that the closure of the product is the product of the closures, applicable to both cases. This understanding is essential for working with product topologies in elementary topology.

Hello, I've got a simple question
is the product of closed sets closed in the product topology?
I think the answer is yes but need to sure

Use the fact for product topologies that the closure of the product is the product of the closures.
 
It is true for finite product, but I am not so sure it is true for infinite products.

For a product of finitely many spaces, the base is given by the product of
all open sets , i.e., given spaces X_1,..,X_n , and U_i open in X_i , then
U_1 xU_2 x...xU_n is open in the product and a basis element.

For infinite products, you need a different basis.
 
Thank you guys, I think we can use what VeeEight says which true for the infinite casa as well
 
Yes, it is true for infinite products and is a simple proof. Hope that helps.
