Product of derivability structures #

In this file, we show that the external product of two left/right derivability structures is also a derivability structure (at least when we assume that the properties of morphisms that are involved contain identities).

The behavior of derivability structures with respect to products of categories was not studied in the paper [KM08]: it was remarked in 2023 by the author of this file (see also §5.3.4 in Formalization of derived categories). This observation was a significant motivation for the formalization of derivability structures (see the files Mathlib/Algebra/Homology/DerivedCategory/DerivabilityStructureInjectives.lean and Mathlib/AlgebraicTopology/ModelCategory/DerivabilityStructureCofibrant.lean for two examples, in homological algebra and in homotopical algebra), because it allows not only to derive functors "in one variable" but also to derive functors in several variables (e.g. the tensor product as a bifunctor).
