The smash product of pointed simplicial sets #
The smash product X ∧ Y of pointed simplicial sets is the degreewise smash product of pointed
types: its n-simplices are the classes of pairs of n-simplices of X and Y, with every
pair having a coordinate at the basepoint collapsed to the basepoint. Equivalently it is the
degreewise quotient of the cartesian product X × Y by the wedge X ∨ Y. With unit
S⁰ = Δ[0]₊, the smash product makes PointedSSet a symmetric monoidal category, whose
braiding swaps the two factors.
The monoidal structure is transported from the pointwise smash product of simplicial objects in
Pointed along PointedSSet.simplicialPointedEquivalence, so all coherence equations come from
those of Pointed. This file supplies the simplex-level description of the structure.

Instances For
Induction on the simplices of a smash product: it suffices to treat classes of pairs.
Two pairs have the same class exactly when they are equal or both lie in the wedge.
A pair represents the basepoint exactly when it lies in the wedge.
Based maps out of a smash product are determined by their values on classes of pairs.
