Model categories as a tool to resolve size issues for localizing categories
I have a rather basic question about one motivation for introducing model categories in David White's notes, as a possible way to overcome troubles with size issues appearing when localizing a ...

Size issues in localization $\mathcal{C}[\mathcal{W}^{-1}]$ category
When one starts with a locally small category $\mathcal{C}$ and wants to localize it at an appropriate choosen collection of morphisms $\mathcal{W}$, then in general one faces some size issues in the ...

Localisation of categories, but instead of "isomorphisms" I want "morphisms with right inverse". Construction via calculus of fractions possible?
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a category and $S$ a collection of morphisms in $\mathcal{C}$. The localisation $\mathcal{C}[S^{-1}]$ is defined via a functor $F: \mathcal{C} \longrightarrow \mathcal{C}[S^{-1}]$ ...

What is classified by generalised Eilenberg MacLane spaces?
Given an abelian group $A$, the Eilenberg MacLane spaces $K(A,n)$ represent the the nth cohomology group in $A$.
In a similar vein, given an arbitrary group $G$ and a space $X$, maps to the ...

When does rationalization commute with homotopy fixed points?
Let $X$ be a $G$-space. There are a number of places in the literature where one can find the claim that under certain conditions rationalization and taking homotopy fixed points with respect to a ...

Slices for certain $C_p$-spectrum
By the work of Hill-Yarnall, for the group $G=C_p,$ all the slices for any spectrum, in particular, for $S^V \wedge H\underline{\mathbb{Z}}$, are classified. Here $V$ is a representation of $C_p.$

Is a filtered colimit of rational spaces again rational?
Let me first explain the statement of the question and then give some indication why the answer might be 'yes'.
By a space I mean, say, a simplicial set and by rational I mean rational in the sense of ...

A question related to bousfield localization and nilpotent completion
I am reading Bousfield's paper entitled "The localization of spectra with respect to homology" (MSN). In that paper, Corollary 6.13 states that, if a ring spectrum $E$ has countable homotopy and ...

Analog of cellular approximation theorem for $CW_0$-complexes ($CW_\mathcal P$-complexes)
$CW_0$-complexes are analogs of $CW$-complexes, in which the "building blocks" are the rational disks $D^{n+1}_0$ whose boundaries are given by $\partial D^{n+1}_0= S^n_0$, where $S^n_0$ is a ...

Example of a saturated class of morphisms which is not _obviously_ saturated?
By "saturated class of morphisms" in a category $\mathcal{C}$, I mean a subcategory $\mathcal{W} \subset \mathcal{C}$ such that the image of $\mathcal{W}$ in $\mathcal{C}[\mathcal{W}^{-1}]$ consists ...

Localization, Slice Tower, and Motivic Spectra
Suppose $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. There is an $\infty$-category of motivic spectra over $k$, denoted $\mathcal{S}pt(k)$. As in algebraic topology, there are ...

Bousfield localization before and after taking homotopy
The ncatlab says:
Under suitable conditions it should be true that for $C$ a model category whose homotopy category $\mathrm{Ho}(C)$ is a triangulated category the homotopy category of a left ...

Homotopical descent information contained in the Dwyer-Kan function complexes of a presheaf category?
Recall that the category of sheaves on some site $C$ equipped with a grothendieck topology $\tau$ is equivalent to the localization of the category of presheaves $W^{-1}Psh(C)$ at $W$ where $W$ is the ...

Weak equivalences of left Bousfield localizations
Suppose C is a complete and cocomplete category with two model structures (C0,F0,W0) and (C1,F1,W1) such that C0⊃C1, F0⊂F1, W0⊂W1.
If necessary, the model structures can be assumed to be simplicial, ...

Controlling Reflective Subcategories and Localizations
Localizations are an extremely important part of modern homotopy theory. Both the category of spaces an spectra have a plethora of interesting localizations: at a fixed prime, rational, with respect ...
