Apr 28, 2011 at 20:41 comment added D.-C. Cisinski @Shengao. There is absolutely no chance that the formula $H^0 holim = holim H^0$ holds: to get a counter-example, you may restrict to dg categories with one objects (aka dg algebras); note that, for a diagram of dg algebras $A_i$, $holim A_i$ is computed as the homotopy limit of the underlying complexes. Therefore, such a formula would imply that any tower of algebras $A_{n+1}\to A_n$, $n\geq 0$, would satisfy the Mittag-Leffler condition... @Fernando. Hence $H^0$ cannot be a right adjoint.
Apr 28, 2011 at 17:02 comment added shenghao It is possible that, as suggested to me by Y. Laszlo, the commutativity $H^0\ holim=holim\ H^0$ still holds, not as a consequence of some formal argument, but of the so-called strictification theorem. I don't know this stuff, and hope some experts can explain. BTW, when the index category $I$ is infinite, how to show the existence of the holim? \\ @Denis-Charles: It's great to see you on MO!

Apr 28, 2011 at 13:40 comment added Fernando Muro @Denis-Charles: oh, you're right! I forgot about cofibrations... Could it still be possible that $H^0\colon\operatorname{Ho}(\mathscr{M})\rightarrow \operatorname{Ho}(\mathscr{N})$ were right adjoint to $\operatorname{Ho}(\mathscr{N})\subset \operatorname{Ho}(\mathscr{M})$?
Apr 28, 2011 at 1:32 comment added D.-C. Cisinski Unfortunately, the inclusion of linear categories into dg categories is not a left Quillen functor at all!
