This happens when one considers a product of uncountable many metric spaces. A typical example is X = [0,1][0,1] - the product of continuum number of copies of [0,1]. X can be identified with the space of all functions f acting from [0,1] to [0,1] equipped with the topology of pointwise convergence. This topology is not metrizable by many reasons. One of them is the following: X is a product of compacts, so it is compact. The cardinality of a compact metric space cannot be greater than continuum, but the cardinality of this X is greater than continuum.

Dear Muhammad,
As Prof. Kadets mentioned, It happens when you consider a product of uncountable metric spaces. Another example is an uncountable product of R with itself. In fact an uncountable product of R with itself is not metrizable because it does not satisfy the sequence lemma. You can find it in chapter 2 of the following book:

Inquiry on Chaotic Dynamics, Arithmetic Functions, and Analytic Number Theory Conjectures: Implications for the Riemann Hypothesis?

Dear Researchers,
I am reaching out to seek insights and opinions on the potential connections between chaotic dynamics, arithmetic functions, and open conjectures in analytic number theory. My interest lies in exploring the derivation of chaotic operators from mathematical constructs such as L-Dirichlet functions and conjectures like those presented by Yitang Zhang in 2022 on Landau-Siegel zeros, as well as the Montgomery conjecture on the distribution of zeros.
Specifically, I am intrigued by the possibility of deriving chaotic dynamics from these mathematical frameworks and understanding their implications for questions related to the Riemann Hypothesis.
  1. L-Dirichlet Functions and Chaotic Dynamics:Are there indications or prior research suggesting a link between L-Dirichlet functions and the derivation of chaotic operators? Has anyone explored the connection between arithmetic functions and the emergence of chaotic behavior in dynamic systems?
  2. Analytic Number Theory Conjectures:What insights can be gained from recent works, such as Yitang Zhang's 2022 theorem on Landau-Siegel zeros, regarding the potential implications for chaotic dynamics? How might the Montgomery conjecture on the distribution of zeros contribute to our understanding of chaotic systems?
  3. Riemann Hypothesis:Based on these findings, do researchers believe there is any increased validity or support for the Riemann Hypothesis? Are there specific aspects of the conjectures or arithmetic functions that may shed light on the truth or falsity of the Riemann Hypothesis?
I also want to inform you that I have recently derived a chaotic operator from Yitang Zhang's latest theorem on Landau-Siegel zeros. The work has been accepted for publication in the European Physical Journal.
My ultimate goal is to further investigate the derivation of chaotic operators from these mathematical foundations and to understand the conditions under which ζ(0.5+iH)=0. welcome any insights, suggestions, or collaboration opportunities that may arise from your expertise in these areas.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to engaging in fruitful discussions with the research community.
