Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter III, § 3. Passage from a Lie group to its Lie algebra

Let G1,…,GnG_1, \ldots, G_n be Lie groups and G=G1×⋯×GnG = G_1 \times \cdots \times G_n. If the vector spaces T(∞)(G)\mathscr{T}^{(\infty)}(G) and T(∞)(G1)⊗⋯⊗T(∞)(Gn)\mathscr{T}^{(\infty)}(G_1) \otimes \cdots \otimes \mathscr{T}^{(\infty)}(G_n) are canonically identified, the algebra T(∞)(G)\mathscr{T}^{(\infty)}(G) is the tensor product of the algebras T(∞)(G1),…,T(∞)(Gn)\mathscr{T}^{(\infty)}(G_1), \ldots, \mathscr{T}^{(\infty)}(G_n). If ti∈T(∞)(Gi)t_i \in \mathscr{T}^{(\infty)}(G_i) for i=1,…,ni = 1, \ldots, n, then

(t1⊗⋯⊗tn)∨=t1∨⊗⋯⊗tn∨. (t_1 \otimes \cdots \otimes t_n)^\vee = t_1^\vee \otimes \cdots \otimes t_n^\vee.

It suffices to consider the case n=2n = 2. Let t1,t1′t_1, t_1' be in T(∞)(G1)\mathscr{T}^{(\infty)}(G_1), t2,t2′t_2, t_2' in T(∞)(G2)\mathscr{T}^{(\infty)}(G_2). We need to show that (t1⊗t2)∗(t1′⊗t2′)=(t1∗t1′)⊗(t2∗t2′)(t_1 \otimes t_2) * (t_1' \otimes t_2') = (t_1 * t_1') \otimes (t_2 * t_2') and that (t1⊗t2)∨=t1∨⊗t2∨(t_1 \otimes t_2)^\vee = t_1^\vee \otimes t_2^\vee. Consider the diagram

G×G→sG×G↓n↓mGG \begin{array}{ccc} G \times G & \xrightarrow{s} & G \times G \\ \downarrow n & & \downarrow m \\ G & & G \end{array}

where m((x1,x2),(x1′,x2′))=(x1x1′,x2x2′)m((x_1, x_2), (x_1', x_2')) = (x_1 x_1', x_2 x_2'),

n((x1,x2),(x1′,x2′))=((x1,x1′),(x2,x2′)), n((x_1, x_2), (x_1', x_2')) = ((x_1, x_1'), (x_2, x_2')),

p1(x1,x1′)=x1x1′p_1(x_1, x_1') = x_1 x_1', p2(x2,x2′)=x2x2′p_2(x_2, x_2') = x_2 x_2'. This diagram is commutative. Hence

m∗((t1⊗t2)⊗(t1′⊗t2′))=(p1⊗p2)∗(n∗((t1⊗t2)⊗(t1′⊗t2′))), m_*((t_1 \otimes t_2) \otimes (t_1' \otimes t_2')) = (p_1 \otimes p_2)_*(n_*((t_1 \otimes t_2) \otimes (t_1' \otimes t_2'))),

that is

(t1⊗t2)∗(t1′⊗t2′)=(p1⊗p2)∗((t1⊗t1′)⊗(t2⊗t2′))=p1∗(t1⊗t1′)⊗p2∗(t2⊗t2′)=(t1∗t1′)⊗(t2∗t2′). \begin{align*} (t_1 \otimes t_2) * (t_1' \otimes t_2') &= (p_1 \otimes p_2)_*((t_1 \otimes t_1') \otimes (t_2 \otimes t_2')) \\ &= p_1*(t_1 \otimes t_1') \otimes p_2*(t_2 \otimes t_2') \\ &= (t_1 * t_1') \otimes (t_2 * t_2'). \end{align*}

It is seen analogously that (t1⊗t2)∨=t1∨⊗t2∨(t_1 \otimes t_2)^\vee = t_1^\vee \otimes t_2^\vee.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
