What is the diagram for the limit that is the Cartesian product?

124 Views Asked by At

Every limit starts with a diagram. It is sometimes given by a little category $J$ and a functor from $J$ into $C$ that picks out the diagram. For a Cartesian product, say in Set, what is this diagram? Is it just two objects and no arrows?

Yes, two objects with no arrows is exactly the diagram that gives you the product as a limit.
