Need help proving the product of closed sets is closed in the product topology












-1












$begingroup$


Let ${X_{alpha}}$ be a family of topological spaces and ${A_{alpha}}$ be a family of sets such that $A_{alpha} subseteq X_{alpha}$ and $A_{alpha}$ is closed in $X_{alpha}$.
How do you prove that $prod A_{alpha}$ is closed in $prod X_{alpha}$ with the product topology? Is it also the case for the box topology in $prod X_{alpha}$? Use this to prove $overline{prod_{}^{} {A_{alpha}}} = prod_{}^{}{overline{A_{alpha}}}$
in $ prod_{}^{} {X_{alpha}}$ with the product topology. Is this also true in the box topology?

Assume all $A_alpha$ are closed. Let $(x_gamma)$ be a net of $Pi_alpha A_alpha$ converging towards $x in X:=Pi_alpha X_alpha$. Since the projections $pi_alpha: X to X_alpha$ are continous by the definition of the product topology, we have $$pi_alpha(x_gamma) xrightarrow{gamma} pi_alpha(x).$$
Now, the $A_alpha$ are closed by assumption so $pi_alpha(x) in A_alpha$ for every $alpha$ in the index set. From this follows $x in Pi_alpha A_alpha$ and hence $Pi_alpha A_alpha$ is closed.



I admit, this approach needs some knowledge about nets.
