A model category is a category equipped with notions of weak equivalences, fibrations and cofibrations allowing to run arguments similar to those of classical homotopy theory.

When is a functor a right derived functor?

Here's a counterexample for unbounded derived categories (this doesn't answer the revised question with the "$t$-left exact" condition). Suppose $\mathcal{A}$ is a Grothendieck category with enough p …

Is the homotopy category of an abelian model category abelian?

No. The projective model structure on chain complexes of modules over a ring is an abelian model category, and the homotopy category is the derived category, which is never abelian unless the ring is …

Split cofibrations up to quasi-isomorphism

No. You can construct counterexamples by taking projective resolutions of modules in a nonsplit short exact sequence. For example, from the short exact sequence $0\to\mathbb{Z}\stackrel{2}{\to}\mathbb …
