Smash powers of pointed types #
The smash power X^∧ι of a pointed type X, indexed by a type ι, is the quotient of the
product ι → X collapsing the fat wedge (the families with some coordinate at the basepoint)
to the basepoint, with a basepoint adjoined disjointly when ι is empty. We use the model
whose elements are the basepoint and the families avoiding the basepoint in every coordinate;
the class of an arbitrary family is Pointed.smashPow.mk. In particular X^∧∅ = S⁰ has
exactly two elements, while for nonempty ι every element is the class of a family.
The smash power is functorial in pointed maps of X, acts on bijections of the index type by
reindexing coordinates, and concatenation of families sends X^∧ι and X^∧κ to X^∧(ι ⊕ κ).
These are the levelwise inputs for the smash powers of pointed simplicial sets, which form the
sphere sequence underlying symmetric spectra.

ι → X avoiding the basepoint in every coordinate.
Instances For
The pointed map out of the smash power induced by a function of families sending the fat
wedge to the basepoint. The hypothesis is not needed to define the map in this model, only to
compute it on every class (lift_mk).
Instances For
The smash power X ↦ X^∧ι as a functor of pointed types.
Instances For
Reindexing commutes with the smash power of a pointed map.
