In mathematics, particularly in category theory and algebraic topology, the smash product is a specific operation that combines two pointed spaces or pointed sets. The smash product is denoted by \\( X \\wedge Y \\), where \\( X \\) and \\( Y \\) are pointed spaces, meaning that each has a distinguished 'base point.
