The product space of a finite family of unloopable spaces is unloopable.
It is sufficient to prove that, if A and B are two unloopable spaces, the same is true of their product . Under these conditions, the space is in fact locally arcwise connected (III, p. 261, prop. 9). Let be a point of . By hypothesis there exists a neighbourhood U of (resp. a neighbourhood V of ) such that the image of the homomorphism deduced from the canonical injection (resp. of the homomorphism deduced from the canonical injection ) is reduced to the identity element. Then is a neighbourhood of in . The homomorphism identifies with the homomorphism (III, p. 297, corollary of prop. 4). Its image is therefore reduced to the identity element. This proves that is unloopable.
Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
