Biproducts of complete join-semilattices

ID: biproducts-of-complete-join-semilattices

In the category of complete join-semilattices, hom-sets have pointwise join as addition and the constant-bottom map as zero, making it a semi-additive category. For any family , the cartesian product with coordinatewise joins is also its coproduct. The injections put an element in one coordinate and bottom in all others. A family of maps extends uniquely by , since each tuple is the join of its coordinate injections. Thus all set-indexed canonical product-coproduct comparisons are invertible. The two-element chain has distinct identity and zero morphisms, so this category is not trivial and not additive.
