An Example of Two Compact Hausdorff FrÉChet Spaces Whose Product is not Frechet

University of California Santa Barbara, California 93106
A topological space such that each point in the closure of a subset A is the limit of a sequence in A is called a Fréchet space. It is shown that the product of a first countable space with a locally sequentially compact Fréchet space is Fréchet. It is shown using the continuum hypothesis that the product of two compact Hausdorff-Fréchet spaces need not be Fréchet. This answers a question posed by E. A. Michael in [7] and a question posed by J. D. Pryce in [8].
