Let $A$ and $B$ be sets. What is this type of product called: $AB = \{ xy \;:\; x \in A,\; y \in B \}$?
I found this notation at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infimum_and_supremum in Section 4.1.

1In group theory it's called the *complex product". In geometry the additive analogue $A+B={x+y:x\in A,y\in B}$ is called the "Minkowski sum". – bof Apr 10 '17 at 21:01

@bof I can't find any online reference that calls this product a "complex product"... – xFioraMstr18 Apr 11 '17 at 23:10
