Example 12.18.2. Let \mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B}, \mathcal{C} be additive categories. Suppose that

\otimes : \mathcal{A} \times \mathcal{B} \longrightarrow \mathcal{C}, \quad (X, Y) \longmapsto X \otimes Y

is a functor which is bilinear on morphisms, see Categories, Definition 4.2.20 for the definition of \mathcal{A} \times \mathcal{B}. Given complexes X^\bullet of \mathcal{A} and Y^\bullet of \mathcal{B} we obtain a double complex

K^{\bullet , \bullet } = X^\bullet \otimes Y^\bullet

in \mathcal{C}. Here the first differential K^{p, q} \to K^{p + 1, q} is the morphism X^ p \otimes Y^ q \to X^{p + 1} \otimes Y^ q induced by the morphism X^ p \to X^{p + 1} and the identity on Y^ q. Similarly for the second differential.
