disjoint finite products

A category has disjoint finite products if it has finite products, for every pair of objects $A,B$ the product projections $A \leftarrow A \times B \rightarrow B$ are epimorphisms, and the pushout $A \sqcup_{A \times B} B$ exists and is given by the terminal object $1$.
This terminology does not seem to be common, but we have added it as a dual for the more commonly known property of having disjoint finite coproducts.

• Dual property: disjoint finite coproducts
• Related properties: coextensive, disjoint products, finite products

Relevant implications

• biproducts implies disjoint finite products
• coextensive implies disjoint finite products
• disjoint finite coproducts andself-dual implies disjoint finite products
• disjoint finite products andself-dual implies disjoint finite coproducts
• disjoint finite products andstrict initial object implies thin
• disjoint finite products andthin implies trivial
• disjoint finite products implies finite products
• disjoint products is equivalent to disjoint finite products andproducts
