Sep 7, 2022 at 14:23 comment added user420620 thanks, yes, this is clear. I was confused ...
Sep 2, 2022 at 5:28 comment added Jon Pridham Essentially yes. For instance, since $Y_0 \to Y_0\times_YY^{\Delta^1}$ is a trivial cofibration, you get a weak equivalence $ Y_0\times_YY^{\Delta^1} \to \mathrm{Dec}_+Y$ over $Y$ by the lifting property.
Sep 1, 2022 at 21:02 comment added user420620 @JonPridham: how do you conclude that "$X\to Y$ factorises though $Y_0$ in the homotopy category iff it lifts to $Dec_+ Y$" ? By a standard diagram chasing argument following directly from the axioms of a model category ?
Sep 1, 2022 at 20:27 comment added Jon Pridham Writing $\mathrm{Dec}_+:= Y \circ [+1]$ as in Illusie's complexe cotangent (1972), the inclusion $i : Y_0 \to Y$ factorises as $Y_0 \to \mathrm{Dec}_+Y \to Y$. If $Y$ is a Kan complex, the first map is a weak equivalence and the second a Kan fibration. Thus a map $X \to Y$ factorises through $Y_0$ in the homotopy category iff it lifts to $ \mathrm{Dec}_+Y$. Although $Y_0\times_Y Y^{\Delta^1}$ is another space with this property, the final conclusion holds without needing any intermediate comparison; path objects aren't unique.
