Definition 14.7.1. Let \mathcal{C} be a category. Let U, V, W be simplicial objects of \mathcal{C}. Let a : V \to U, b : W \to U be morphisms. Assume the fibre products V_ n \times _{U_ n} W_ n exist in \mathcal{C}. The fibre product of V and W over U is the simplicial object V \times _ U W defined as follows:
(V \times _ U W)_ n = V_ n \times _{U_ n} W_ n,
d^ n_ i = (d^ n_ i, d^ n_ i), and
s^ n_ i = (s^ n_ i, s^ n_ i).
In other words, V \times _ U W is the fibre product of the presheaves V and W over the presheaf U on \Delta .
