Sep 27, 2013 at 15:59 comment added Emanuele Dotto I actually meant the category has finitely many morphisms. It's the kind of homotopy limits that commute with sequential homotopy colimits, maybe we can ask for a very small category to be safe.
Sep 24, 2013 at 14:44 comment added Lennart Meier I think, I understand now what you mean, but one clarification: What do you mean by finite? Something like that the nerve has only finitely many nondegenerate simplices?
Sep 20, 2013 at 20:37 comment added Emanuele Dotto Oh,homotopy colimits are homotopy invariant even in spectra without cofibrant replacements
Sep 20, 2013 at 20:15 comment added Emanuele Dotto That's precisely what I was asking. Is it known not to be homotopy invariant for spectra in spaces? I see how it is not for spectra in simplicial sets. Funny things can happen, e.g. homotopy colimits are homotopy invariant in spaces even without cofibrant replacements
Sep 20, 2013 at 19:46 comment added Lennart Meier You can define whatever you want. But the Bousfield-Kan construction is in general not homotopy invariant (and therefore does not agree with I would call the homotopy limit), neither in simplicial sets nor in spectra. See, for example the Bousfield-Kan book XI.5.6, Section 2.3 of math.mit.edu/conferences/talbot/2007/tmfproc/Chapter07/… or the Hirschhorn book, Thm 18.5.2 (most precise).
Sep 20, 2013 at 18:36 comment added Emanuele Dotto It makes sense even without having a model structure
Sep 20, 2013 at 18:00 comment added Lennart Meier Does not the Bousfield-Kan formula presuppose that the objects are fibrant?
Sep 20, 2013 at 17:08 comment added Emanuele Dotto I'm using the Bousfield-Kan formula to define homotopy limits. Since the cotensored structure of spectra over simplicial sets is levelwise, the homotopy limits turn out to be levelwise (and well defined). The proof uses only that stable equivalences are $\pi_\ast$-equivalences, and that directed homotopy colimits and finite homotopy limits commute in spaces.

Sep 20, 2013 at 16:03 comment added Lennart Meier Problems might begin with the question: How do you form a levelwise homotopy limit of spectra? Is then the map $\Sigma X_n \to X_{n+1}$ still well-defined? So I assume, when you write equivalence that you mean stable equivalence? Can you write down your proof?
