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.

The degreewise smash product makes pointed simplicial sets a monoidal category, with unit S⁰ = Δ[0]₊.

@[instance_reducible]

The swap of factors makes the degreewise smash product symmetric monoidal.

@[instance_reducible]

The degreewise pointed presentation is strong monoidal for the smash product.

The class in the smash product X ⊗ Y of a pair of simplices of the same degree.

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.

      The smash product as a quotient of the cartesian product #

      The based map out of the smash product X ⊗ Y induced by a simplicial map out of the cartesian product sending the wedge X ∨ Y to the basepoint.

      Instances For

          A simplex of the cartesian product lies in the wedge exactly when one of its coordinates is the basepoint.

          The smash product X ⊗ Y is the quotient of the cartesian product X × Y collapsing the wedge X ∨ Y to the basepoint.
