Indexed products🔗

If a category admits a terminal object and binary products, then it admits products of any finite cardinality: iterate the binary product, and use the terminal object when there aren’t any objects. However, these two classes of limit do not let us speak of products of arbitrary cardinality, or, in the univalent context, indexed by types which are not sets.

That’s where $I -indexed$ products come in: Rather than having a functor giving the objects to take the limit over, we have an arbitrary map $F$ from $I$ to the space of objects of $C .$ An indexed product for this “diagram” is then an object admitting a universal family of maps $π_{i} : (\prod F) \to F_{i} .$

Uniqueness🔗

As is traditional with universal constructions, “having an indexed product for a diagram” is property of a category, not structure: Put another way, for any particular diagram, in a univalent category, there is (at most) a contractible space of indexed products of that diagram. And again as is traditional with universal constructions, the proof is surprisingly straightforward!

First, a general result: if two objects are both indexed products over the same family of objects, then those objects are isomorphic. This isomorphism is induced by the universal properties, and is readily seen to commute with both projections:

is-indexed-product→iso
  : ∀ {ℓ'} {Idx : Type ℓ'} {F : Idx → C.Ob}
  → {ΠF ΠF' : C.Ob}
  → {π : ∀ i → C.Hom ΠF (F i)} {π' : ∀ i → C.Hom ΠF' (F i)}
  → is-indexed-product F π
  → is-indexed-product F π'
  → ΠF C.≅ ΠF'
is-indexed-product→iso {π = π} {π' = π'} ΠF-prod ΠF'-prod =
  C.make-iso (ΠF'.tuple π) (ΠF.tuple π')
    (ΠF'.unique₂ (λ i → C.pulll ΠF'.commute ∙ ΠF.commute ∙ sym (C.idr _)))
    (ΠF.unique₂ λ i → C.pulll ΠF.commute ∙ ΠF'.commute ∙ sym (C.idr _))
  where
    module ΠF = is-indexed-product ΠF-prod
    module ΠF' = is-indexed-product ΠF'-prod

Indexed-product→iso
  : ∀ {ℓ'} {Idx : Type ℓ'} {F : Idx → C.Ob}
  → (P P' : Indexed-product F)
  → Indexed-product.ΠF P C.≅ Indexed-product.ΠF P'
Indexed-product→iso P P' =
  is-indexed-product→iso
    (Indexed-product.has-is-ip P)
    (Indexed-product.has-is-ip P')

With that out of the way, we can proceed to show our original result! First, note that paths between indexed products are determined by a path between apices, and a corresponding path-over between projections. We can upgrade the iso from our previous lemma into a path, so all that remains is to construct the path-over.

Indexed-product-unique
  : ∀ {ℓ'} {I : Type ℓ'} (F : I → C.Ob)
  → is-category C → is-prop (Indexed-product F)
Indexed-product-unique {I = I} F c-cat x y =
  Indexed-product-path
    (c-cat .to-path apices)
    pres
  where
    module x = Indexed-product x
    module y = Indexed-product y

    apices : x.ΠF C.≅ y.ΠF
    apices = Indexed-product→iso x y

By the characterisation of paths-over in Hom-sets, we get paths-over between the projection maps and the product maps:

    module apices = C._≅_ apices
    abstract
      pres : ∀ j → PathP (λ i → C.Hom (c-cat .to-path apices i) (F j)) (x.π j) (y.π j)
      pres j = Univalent.Hom-pathp-refll-iso c-cat x.commute

We can also prove the converse direction: if indexed products in $C$ are unique, then $C$ is univalent. In fact, we only need limits of one-object diagrams to be unique.

unique-products→is-category
  : ({x : C.Ob} → is-prop (Indexed-product {Idx = ⊤} (λ _ → x)))
  → is-category C
unique-products→is-category prop = cat where

Given an isomorphism $a ≅ b,$ we build two products for the one-object diagram $a :$ one with apex $a$ itself and identity as projection, and one with apex $b$ and the given isomorphism as projection.

  module _ {a b : C.Ob} (is : a C.≅ b) where
    open Indexed-product
    open is-indexed-product

    Pa : Indexed-product {Idx = ⊤} (λ _ → a)
    Pa .ΠF = a
    Pa .π _ = C.id
    Pa .has-is-ip .tuple f = f _
    Pa .has-is-ip .commute = C.idl _
    Pa .has-is-ip .unique f p = sym (C.idl _) ∙ p _

    Pb : Indexed-product {Idx = ⊤} (λ _ → a)
    Pb .ΠF = b
    Pb .π _ = is .C.from
    Pb .has-is-ip .tuple f = is .C.to C.∘ f _
    Pb .has-is-ip .commute = C.cancell (is .C.invr)
    Pb .has-is-ip .unique f p = sym (C.lswizzle (sym (p _)) (is .C.invl))

By uniqueness, the two products are equal, which gives us an equality $a \equiv b$ lying over our isomorphism.

    path : a ≡ b
    path = ap ΠF (prop Pa Pb)

    path-over : PathP (λ i → a C.≅ path i) C.id-iso is
    path-over = C.≅-pathp-from _ _ (ap (λ p → p .π _) (prop Pa Pb))

  cat : is-category C
  cat .to-path = path
  cat .to-path-over = path-over

Properties🔗

Let $X : Σ A B \to C$ be a family of objects in $C .$ If the indexed products $Π_{a, b : Σ A B} X_{a, b}$ and $Π_{a : A} Π_{b : B (a)} X_{a, b}$ exist, then they are isomorphic.

is-indexed-product-assoc
  : ∀ {κ κ'} {A : Type κ} {B : A → Type κ'}
  → {X : Σ A B → C.Ob}
  → {ΠᵃᵇX : C.Ob} {ΠᵃΠᵇX : C.Ob} {ΠᵇX : A → C.Ob}
  → {πᵃᵇ : (ab : Σ A B) → C.Hom ΠᵃᵇX (X ab)}
  → {πᵃ : ∀ a → C.Hom ΠᵃΠᵇX (ΠᵇX a)}
  → {πᵇ : ∀ a → (b : B a) → C.Hom (ΠᵇX a) (X (a , b))}
  → is-indexed-product X πᵃᵇ
  → is-indexed-product ΠᵇX πᵃ
  → (∀ a → is-indexed-product (λ b → X (a , b)) (πᵇ a))
  → ΠᵃᵇX C.≅ ΠᵃΠᵇX

The proof is surprisingly straightforward: as indexed products are unique up to iso, it suffices to show that $Π_{a : A} Π_{b : B (a)} X_{a, b}$ is an indexed product over $X .$

is-indexed-product-assoc {A = A} {B} {X} {ΠᵃΠᵇX = ΠᵃΠᵇX} {πᵃ = πᵃ} {πᵇ} Πᵃᵇ ΠᵃΠᵇ Πᵇ =
  is-indexed-product→iso Πᵃᵇ Πᵃᵇ'
  where
    open is-indexed-product

We can construct projections by composing the projections out of each successive product.

    πᵃᵇ' : ∀ (ab : Σ A B) → C.Hom ΠᵃΠᵇX (X ab)
    πᵃᵇ' (a , b) = πᵇ a b C.∘ πᵃ a

The rest of the structure follows a similar pattern.

    Πᵃᵇ' : is-indexed-product X πᵃᵇ'
    Πᵃᵇ' .tuple f = ΠᵃΠᵇ .tuple λ a → Πᵇ a .tuple λ b → f (a , b)
    Πᵃᵇ' .commute = C.pullr (ΠᵃΠᵇ .commute) ∙ Πᵇ _ .commute
    Πᵃᵇ' .unique {h = h} f p =
      ΠᵃΠᵇ .unique _ λ a →
      Πᵇ _ .unique _ λ b →
      C.assoc _ _ _ ∙ p (a , b)
