Product categories🔗
Let and be two precategories; we put no restrictions on their relative sizes. Their product category is the category having as object pairs of an object and and the morphisms are pairs of a morphism in and a morphism in The product category admits two projection functors
satisfying a universal property analogous to those of product diagrams in categories. Namely, given a setup like in the diagram below, there is a unique1 functor which fits into the dashed line and makes the whole diagram commute.
Formulating this universal property properly would take us further afield into 2-category theory than is appropriate here.

We define the two projection functors
(resp
as the evident liftings of the fst
and snd
operations from the product
type. Functoriality is automatic because composites (and
identities) are defined componentwise in the product category.

Univalence🔗
Isomorphisms in functor categories admit a short description, too: They are maps which are componentwise isomorphisms. It follows, since paths in product types are products of paths in the component types, that the product of univalent categories is itself a univalent category.

When and are precategories, this functor is only unique up to a natural isomorphism↩︎
