Theorem
Let $T_1$ and $T_2$ be non-empty topological spaces.
Let $b \in T_2$.
Let $T_1 \times T_2$ be the product space of $T_1$ and $T_2$.
Let $T_2 \times T_1$ be the product space of $T_2$ and $T_1$.
Then:
- $T_1$ is homeomorphic to the subspace $T_1 \times \set b$ of $T_1 \times T_2$
- $T_1$ is homeomorphic to the subspace $\set b \times T_1$ of $T_2 \times T_1$
Proof
From Finite Cartesian Product of Non-Empty Sets is Non-Empty both $T_1 \times T_2$ and $T_2 \times T_1$ are both non-empty.
The conclusions follow immediately from Subspace of Product Space is Homeomorphic to Factor Space.
