direct product of rings as categorical product in Ring

Proposition

Let 20240128-direct_product_of_rings_as_categorical_product_in_ring_1e22803545e8bee4e42310b2742b6b4f96934d72.svg be rings and 20240128-direct_product_of_rings_as_categorical_product_in_ring_94bcf2fe9b22c6b914943af6045893be71f6dd1f.svg the direct product of rings.
Then 20240128-direct_product_of_rings_as_categorical_product_in_ring_94bcf2fe9b22c6b914943af6045893be71f6dd1f.svg with the projections

20240128-direct_product_of_rings_as_categorical_product_in_ring_0f22659a04c3fb1adcdfcef4882867867e8aebfb.svg

is the categorical product

Proof

Suppose 20240128-direct_product_of_rings_as_categorical_product_in_ring_dc8fc442dddded85f3f5ead0ba0954d560bc5651.svg is another ring and

20240128-direct_product_of_rings_as_categorical_product_in_ring_4a51bdcf78989be68aab4f1fd7611f441d93565c.svg

are ring-homomorphisms

Then the map

20240128-direct_product_of_rings_as_categorical_product_in_ring_2945dec8d314143694bece30a2e5aef50a6a94d1.svg

is a welldefined ring homomorphism, since

20240128-direct_product_of_rings_as_categorical_product_in_ring_629c70aabe25accae2899bf673210d8351ce209d.svg

and

20240128-direct_product_of_rings_as_categorical_product_in_ring_18e1d6f504dee09b196c0b6539aec290c53d212c.svg

furthermore, it makes by construction following diagram commute

20240128-direct_product_of_rings_as_categorical_product_in_ring_f656b8c6705adf6836ca70f7c4ea346d3a217693.svg

At last, this map is unique, as each component of 20240128-direct_product_of_rings_as_categorical_product_in_ring_7beeff72fdf3a6cd62ce825b0da5a196b43f3508.svg is forced by 20240128-direct_product_of_rings_as_categorical_product_in_ring_4893ba245cc1446eda289e0104a722de824d5455.svg
