Finite products of reindexed families in a lattice #
In a SemilatticeInf with OrderTop, Mathlib identifies the finite product of a family with the
infimum of its members (CategoryTheory.Limits.CompleteLattice.finite_product_eq_finset_inf). This
file records the reindexed form used for Čech complexes: the product of the members f (a j) of a
family f, for a : J → ι with J finite, is the infimum of f over the image of a. Hence a
property of the nonempty finite infima of f holds for the products f (a 0) × ⋯ × f (a n).
The finite product of the members f (a j) of a family f is the infimum of f over the
image of a. Unlike finite_product_eq_finset_inf, the index type J may live in any universe,
as for the products U (a 0) × ⋯ × U (a n) indexed by Fin (n + 1) in Čech complexes.
A property of the nonempty finite infima of a family f holds for the nonempty finite products
of its members f (a j), such as the products f (a 0) × ⋯ × f (a n) in the terms of Čech
complexes: such a product is the infimum of f over the image of a.
