Model categories and their localizations

By: Hirschhorn Philip SMaterial type: TextTextPublication details: Rhode Island: American Mathematical Society, [c2003]Description: 457 pISBN: 9780821849170LOC classification: QA169
Contents:
Part 1 . Localization of model category structures 1. Local spaces and localization 2. The localization model category for spaces 3. Localization of model categories 4. Existence of left Bousfield localizations 5. Existence of right Bousfield localizations 6. Fiberwise localization Part 2. Homotopy theory in model categories 7. Model categories 8. Fibrant and cofibrant approximations 9. Simplicial model categories 10. Ordinals, cardinals, and transfinite composition 11. Cofibrantly generated model categories 12. Cellular model categories 13. Proper model categories 14. The classifying space of a small category 15. The reedy model category structure 16. Cosimplicial and simplicial resolutions 17. Homotopy function complexes 18. Homotopy limits in simplicial model categories 19. Homotopy limits in general model categories
Summary: The aim of this book is to explain modern homotopy theory in a manner accessible to graduate students yet structured so that experts can skip over numerous linear developments to quickly reach the topics of their interest. Homotopy theory arises from choosing a class of maps, called weak equivalences, and then passing to the homotopy category by localizing with respect to the weak equivalences, i.e., by creating a new category in which the weak equivalences are isomorphisms. Quillen defined a model category to be a category together with a class of weak equivalences and additional structure useful for describing the homotopy category in terms of the original category. This allows you to make constructions analogous to those used to study the homotopy theory of topological spaces.--- summary provided by publisher
