| Jan 2, 2020 at 5:07 | comment | added | Peter May | The analogy with topology is too close for this to be anything but canonical. I have nothing against Ronnie's choice, but it is not in common use. The most recent paper about Thomason's theorem and its generalizations is available on my web page as math.uchicago.edu/~may/PAPERS/MSZ.pdf, which gives background and references. No apologies needed. A good opportunity to advertise a classical observation that still seems much less well-known than it should be. | |

| Jan 2, 2020 at 0:20 | comment | added | user147820 | Peter thank you so much for the answer; is this the canonical choice then? (And in particular also why favor this formulation over Brown's condition of natural equivalence between the two functors? Despite being stricter that condition also seems flexible enough to preserve homotopy in quite a few desirable situations, as listed above.) | |
