Products of two sober dcpo's need not be sober

General Topology 2025-12-23 v4

Abstract

We construct two dcpo's whose Scott spaces are sober, but the Scott space of their order product is not sober. This answers an open problem on the sobriety of Scott spaces. Meantime, we show that if MM and NN are special type of sober complete lattices, then the Scott space of their order product M×NM\times N is sober.
