Oct 1, 2015 at 11:23 comment added Ilan Barnea Hi Matan. I was not aware there is a difference
Sep 21, 2015 at 15:15 comment added MatanP Just a remark: the cofibrant objects in the Quillen model structure on Top are not retracts of CW complexes as you wrote, but rather retracts of cell-complexes.
Aug 15, 2015 at 22:25 comment added Ilan Barnea Have you seen: J. Rosický and W. Tholen, Erratum to "Left-determined model categories and universal homotopy theories", Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 360 (2008), 6179-6179. Maybe they fix everything here

Aug 14, 2015 at 19:16 comment added David White I was about to write something about proving the existence of a set $I$ to generate the monomorphisms, but I realized a bigger problem. This paper might contain mistakes. Look at the comment thread in mathoverflow.net/questions/135135. Anyway, my comment was only meant as a sketch of an approach, not a full answer. I agree work would have to be done to turn the sketch into a real proof. Gaucher has thought a lot recently about left determined models and has a preprint on his homepage which might be more useful than my musings.
Aug 14, 2015 at 17:54 comment added Ilan Barnea @DavidWhite Thanks, but I still don't get something. Why would taking $I$ to be $\phi\to *$ produce all monomorphisms? To me it looks like producing only maps of the form $X\to X\coprod D$, for $D$ a discrete space. Even taking a larger set like all $\partial\Delta^n\to \Delta^n$ looks to me like producing the cofibrations in the Quillen model structure which are less then the cofibrations in the mixed model structure. How are we getting more cofibrations?

Aug 14, 2015 at 13:25 comment added David White You are right; you can't fix W. However, by the nature of the left-determined model structure you know you can obtain a model structure with the W you want (weak homotopy equivalences) as a left Bousfield localization of the left determined one. I mean, you've already assumed Vopenka, so this gets rid of the problem of needing to find a SET of maps to invert.
Aug 14, 2015 at 1:07 comment added Ilan Barnea @DavidWhite I think the result of Rosicky and Tholen says that the weak saturation of any set of $I$ of morphisms in a locally presentable category is the class of cofibrations of a unique left-determined model structure. So how can you fix $W$ in advance?

Aug 12, 2015 at 12:55 comment added David White Also, have you read Tibor Beke's work? He has a paper called "How (non)unique is the choice of cofibrations?" which you might enjoy. That paper is really about the setting of a combinatorial model category, but doesn't require Vopenka. There might be a way to rig up an example on $\Delta$-generated spaces with more cofibrations than the mixed model structure, but I could not see how to do it. Beke's approach requires a careful understanding of $Ex^\infty$ and so seems to require sSet rather than Top.
Aug 12, 2015 at 12:51 comment added David White Here is a plan of attack. Use $\Delta$-generated spaces, produce a model structure there, and try to pass it via adjunction to Top. Rosicky and Tholen in "Left-determined model..." prove that under Vopenka in any locally presentable category with fixed $W$ (here weak homotopy equivalences) then for any set $I$ of maps there is a left determined model structure with cofibrations generated by $I$. Take $I$ to be $\emptyset \to \ast$ and you get monomorphisms, which is more cofibrations than the mixed model structure.

Aug 4, 2015 at 11:30 comment added Ilan Barnea I don't think so because the conclusion there is that the left determined model structure and the Quillen model structure are equal.
Aug 4, 2015 at 10:48 comment added David White Your question made the following thread pop into my mind. I have no idea if it'll be useful and won't have time to think about it till next week, but let me share while it's on my mind: mathoverflow.net/questions/100153
