    It is clear, given two spaces \(X\) and \(Y\), that \(|C(X\times Y)|\geq|C(X)||C(Y)|\), hence the question in the title. The authors give a lot of conditions for the equality to hold, most in terms of relations between well-known cardinal functions like density and cellularity. They also present examples where inequality obtains, including for every~\(n\) spaces~\(X\) with \(|C(X^k)|={\mathfrak c}\) for \(k\leq n\) and \(|C(X^k)|=2^{\mathfrak c}\) for \(k>n\).
