Stable categories of products #

The projective stable category of a product of exact categories is additively equivalent to the product of their projective stable categories. The comparison sends a pair to the pair of its stable classes and acts componentwise on morphisms. No Frobenius hypothesis is needed for this additive equivalence: a pair of maps factors through a relative projective exactly when both maps do.

For Frobenius exact categories the product exact structure is Frobenius, and the two projections preserve projective-injectives. Their stable functors therefore admit the suspension comparisons and triangle-functor structures of StableConflationExact.stableFunctorIsTriangulated. The comparison here concerns the additive categories; it does not identify their triangulations.

A map in the product is projectively trivial precisely when both components are projectively trivial. Two component factorizations combine through the pair of projectives.

The first component of the product comparison is the stable functor induced by the first projection. Thus its suspension comparison and triangle-functor structure are those already constructed for stable conflation-exact functors.
