# Uncountable union of separable spaces is separable?

If $V(x)$ is a separable Hilbert space, is $\bigcup_{x \in X}V(x)\times\{x\}$ separable when $X$ is an uncountable set? How to make it separable if it's not? What assumptions do I need?

What is the answer if $V(x)=\{0\}$ for all $x$? – Jonas Meyer Feb 8 at 17:37
So you want the final union to bbe just a topological space or something like the space of vector-valued funcitons? What is the relationship between the topology you want and topologies of $V(x)$? – Norbert Feb 8 at 17:38
@Norbert I want it to be like vector-valued functions. I am not really firm on topologies.. basically I want a function space in which I can define functions $f$ such that $f(x)$ is in $V(x)$ for $x \in X$. – soup Feb 8 at 17:40
@JonasMeyer I guess yes, but for non-trivial case I don't know – soup Feb 8 at 17:48
I changed $\cup_{x\in X}V(x)\times\{x\}$ to $\bigcup_{x\in X}V(x)\times\{x\}$. I take that to be standard when you have subscripts or superscripts on $\bigcup$, and use $\cup$ only for things like $A\cup B$ and $A\cup\cdots\cup B$, etc. – Michael Hardy Feb 8 at 19:15
If you are referring to the product space together with the product topology then I am afraid it is not true. Take for instance the space $[0,1]^{[0,1]}$, which means uncounably many copies of $[0,1]$. This space is not separable. Since this space is compact and Hausdorff being separable is actually equivalent to being metrizeable. For this reason I don't think there is a reasonable way to "make" this space separable, since I don't see a reasonable way to make it a metric space without changing the topology completely.
 Suppose $X=[0,X_0]$ in my notation. What topology can I give it? – soup Feb 8 at 17:31 I might be missing something, because I don't see how this relates to the question exactly. There is a union of copies of Hilbert space in the question, not an infinite product of $[0,1]$. (Separable compact Hausdorff spaces need not be metrizable. E.g. $\beta \mathbb N$.) – Jonas Meyer Feb 8 at 17:36
