Abstract We prove that any category of props in a symmetric monoidal model category inherits a model structure. We devote an appendix, about half the size of the paper, to the proof of the model category axioms in a general setting. We need the general argument to address the case of props in topological spaces and dg-modules over an arbitrary ring, but we give a less technical proof which applies to the category of props in simplicial sets, simplicial modules, and dg-modules over a ring of characteristic 0. We apply the model structure of props to the homotopical study of algebras over a prop. Our goal is to prove that an object 𝑋 homotopy equivalent to an algebra 𝐴 over a cofibrant prop P inherits a P-algebra structure so that 𝑋 defines a model of 𝐴 in the homotopy category of P-algebras. In the differential graded context, this result leads to a generalization of Kadeishvili's minimal model of 𝐴∞-algebras.

We prove that the arrow category of a monoidal model category, equipped with the pushout product monoidal structure and the projective model structure, is a monoidal model category. This answers a question posed by Mark Hovey, in the course of his work on Smith ideals. As a corollary, we prove that the projective model structure in cubical homotopy theory is a monoidal model structure. As illustrations we include numerous examples of non-cofibrantly generated monoidal model categories, including chain complexes, small categories, pro-categories, and topological spaces.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to show that various convolution products are fully homotopical, meaning that they preserve weak equivalences in both variables without any cofibrancy hypothesis. We establish this property for diagrams of simplicial sets indexed by the category of finite sets and injections and for tame $M$-simplicial sets, with $M$ the monoid of injective self-maps of the positive natural numbers. We also show that a certain convolution product studied by Nikolaus and the 1st author is fully homotopical. This implies that every presentably symmetric monoidal $\infty $-category can be represented by a symmetric monoidal model category with a fully homotopical monoidal product.

This paper sets up the foundations for derived algebraic geometry, Goerss–Hopkins obstruction theory, and the construction of commutative ring spectra in the abstract setting of operadic algebras in symmetric spectra in an (essentially) arbitrary model category. We show that one can do derived algebraic geometry a la Toën–Vezzosi in an abstract category of spectra. We also answer in the affirmative a question of Goerss and Hopkins by showing that the obstruction theory for operadic algebras in spectra can be done in the generality of spectra in an (essentially) arbitrary model category. We construct strictly commutative simplicial ring spectra representing a given cohomology theory and illustrate this with a strictly commutative motivic ring spectrum representing higher order products on Deligne cohomology. These results are obtained by first establishing Smith’s stable positive model structure for abstract spectra and then showing that this category of spectra possesses excellent model-theoretic properties: we show that all colored symmetric operads in symmetric spectra valued in a symmetric monoidal model category are admissible, i.e., algebras over such operads carry a model structure. This generalizes the known model structures on commutative ring spectra and $\text{E}_{\infty }$-ring spectra in simplicial sets or motivic spaces. We also show that any weak equivalence of operads in spectra gives rise to a Quillen equivalence of their categories of algebras. For example, this extends the familiar strictification of $\text{E}_{\infty }$-rings to commutative rings in a broad class of spectra, including motivic spectra. We finally show that operadic algebras in Quillen equivalent categories of spectra are again Quillen equivalent. This paper is also available at arXiv:1410.5699v2.

Abstract By careful analysis of the embedding of a simplicial set into its image under Kan’s $$\mathop {\mathop {\mathsf {Ex}}^\infty }$$Ex∞ functor we obtain a new and combinatorial proof that it is a weak homotopy equivalence. Moreover, we obtain a presentation of it as a strong anodyne extension. From this description we can quickly deduce some basic facts about $$\mathop {\mathop {\mathsf {Ex}}^\infty }$$Ex∞ and hence provide a new construction of the Kan–Quillen model structure on simplicial sets, one which avoids the use of topological spaces or minimal fibrations.

AbstractFor each integer n ≥ 0, we give a distinct closed model category structure to the categories of spaces and of simplicial sets. Recall that a non-empty map is said to be a weak equivalence if it induces isomorphisms on the homotopy groups for any choice of base point. Putting the condition on dimensions ≥ n, we have the notion of a weak n-equivalence which is at the base of the nth closed model category structure given here.

AbstractIn this paper we use Takeuchy–Ulbrich's cohomology of complexes of categories with abelian group structure to introduce a cohomology theory for simplicial sets, or topological spaces, with coefficients in symmetric cat-groups . This cohomology is the usual one when abelian groups are taken as coefficients, and the main topological significance of this cohomology is the fact that it is equivalent to the reduced cohomology theory defined by a Ω-spectrum, {}, canonically associated to . We use the spaces to prove that symmetric cat-groups model all homotopy type of spaces X with Πi(X) = 0 for all i ╪ n, n + 1 and n ≥ 3, and then we extend Eilenberg–MacLane's classification theorem to those spaces: .

Let be a family of sets in a linear space X. A hyperplane π is called a k-secant of if π intersects exactly k members of . The existence of k-secants for families of compact sets in linear topological spaces has been discussed in a number of recent papers (cf. [3–7]). For X normed (and a finite family of two or more disjoint non-empty compact sets) it was proved [5] that if the union of all members of is an infinite set which is not contained in any straight line of X, then has a 2-secant. This result and related ones concerning intersections of members of by straight lines have since been extended in [4] to the more general setting of a Hausdorff locally convex space.

This chapter provides the 𝔸1-local projective model structure on the categories of simplicial presheaves and simplicial presheaves with transfers. These model categories, written as Δ‎opPshv(Sm)𝔸1 and Δ‎op PST(Sm)𝔸1, are first defined. Their respective homotopy categories are Ho(Sm) and the full subcategory DM eff nis ≤0 of DM eff nis. Afterward, this chapter introduces the notions of radditive presheaves and ̅Δ‎-closed classes, and develops their basic properties. The theory of ̅Δ‎-closed classes is needed because the extension of symmetric power functors to simplicial radditive presheaves is not a left adjoint. This chapter uses many of the basic ideas of Quillen model categories, which is a category equipped with three classes of morphisms satisfying five axioms. In addition, much of the material in this chapter is based upon the technique of Bousfield localization.

Abstract We introduce a general definition for coloured cyclic operads over a symmetric monoidal ground category, which has several appealing features. The forgetful functor from coloured cyclic operads to coloured operads has both adjoints, each of which is relatively simple. Explicit formulae for these adjoints allow us to lift the Cisinski–Moerdijk model structure on the category of coloured operads enriched in simplicial sets to the category of coloured cyclic operads enriched in simplicial sets.
