Products of exact categories #
The product of two exact categories carries the componentwise exact structure: a short complex in the product is a conflation precisely when both of its projections are conflations. This file constructs that exact structure directly from Quillen's axioms and records its characteristic lemmas.
The projection functors preserve conflations and jointly detect them. Inserting a zero object in either coordinate is also conflation-exact. These functors are the input for the product formula for exact Grothendieck groups. Relative projectives and injectives are computed componentwise, and products preserve enough projectives, enough injectives, and Frobenius exact structures. This also supplies the exact structure used to compare stable categories with their products.
