Doelt_k http://www.4124039.com/users/109602 2019-05-19T00:07:30Z 2019-05-19T08:12:12Z <p>I couldn't find any info on what set of compact objects generates the following subcategory:</p> <blockquote> <p>Let <span class="math-container">$k$</span> be a field of positive characteristic and let <span class="math-container">$G$</span> be either a finite group or a finite group scheme over <span class="math-container">$k$</span>. Then let <span class="math-container">$\mathrm{stab}(k[G])$</span> be a stable model category consiting of finitely generated <span class="math-container">$k[G]$</span>-modules (modulo the projectives). It is a subcategory of <span class="math-container">$\mathrm{Stab}(k[G])$</span> - the stable model category of all <span class="math-container">$k[G]$</span>-modules (modulo the projectives). For <span class="math-container">$\mathrm{Stab}(k[G])$</span>, it is known that compact objects are precisely finitely-generated modules and the simple modules generate <span class="math-container">$\mathrm{Stab}(k[G])$</span>.</p> </blockquote> <p>More generally, let <span class="math-container">$\mathcal{K}$</span> be a compactly generated stable model category with a set <span class="math-container">$\mathcal{C}$</span> of compact objects and a set <span class="math-container">$\mathcal{G}$</span> of compact generators. What are the compact generators of the subcategory of <span class="math-container">$\mathcal{K}$</span> spanned by objects in <span class="math-container">$\mathcal{C}$</span>? I realize that this may be unknown, so I'd appreciate any particular examples (I'm more interested in cases where the orignal stable model category has a set of compact generators rather than a single one).</p> <p>For the definitions I use, I refer to <a href="http://homepages.math.uic.edu/~bshipley/classTopFinal.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Schwede-Shipley</a>. Of course, substituting the term "stable model category" for "triangulated category" across my question makes no difference.</p> http://www.4124039.com/q/330750 2 Is the Hurewicz model category left proper? Dmitry Vaintrob http://www.4124039.com/users/7108 2019-05-05T00:35:56Z 2019-05-05T01:09:34Z <p>A model structure is left proper if the pushout of a weak equivalence along a cofibration is a weak equivalence. In the Hurewicz (or Strom) model structure on the category of topological spaces, weak equivalences are homotopy equivalences and cofibrations are defined in terms of a lifting property for Hurewicz fibrations.

A non-decreasing continuous bijection from $[0,a]$ to $[0,b]$ where $a,b\geq 0$ are two real numbers is denoted by $[0,a] \cong^+ [0,b]$. If $\phi:[0,a]\to U$ and $\psi:[0,b]\to U$ are two continuous maps for some topological space $U$ with $\phi(a)=\psi(0)$, the map $\phi*\psi:[0,a+b]\to U$ is the composition of the paths, $\phi$ on $[0,a]$ and $\psi$ on $[a,a+b]$. <strong>All topological spaces are $\Delta$-generated. Therefore all following categories are locally presentable.</strong> </p> <p>A <strong>multipointed $d$-space</strong> $X$ is a variant of Marco Grandis' $d$-spaces. It consists of a topological space $|X|$, a subset $X^0$ (of states) of $|X|$ and a set of continuous maps (called execution paths) $\mathbb{P}^{top}X$ from $[0,1]$ to $|X|$ satisfying the following axioms: </p> <ol> <li>for any $\phi\in \mathbb{P}^{top}X$, $\phi(0)$ and $\phi(1)$ belong to $X^0$</li> <li>for any $\phi\in \mathbb{P}^{top}X$, a composite $[0,1] \cong^+ [0,1] \stackrel{\phi}\longrightarrow |X|$ belongs to $\mathbb{P}^{top}X$</li> <li>if $\phi$ and $\psi$ are two execution paths, all composites like $[0,1] \cong^+ [0,2] \stackrel{\phi*\psi}\longrightarrow |X|$ are execution paths.</li> </ol> <p>Tu summarize, a multipointed $d$-space has not only a distinguished set of continuous paths but also a distinguished set of points (the other points are intuitively not interesting). Unlike Grandis' notion, the constant paths are not necessarily execution paths. It is one of the role of the cofibrant replacement of the model category structure constructed in <a href="http://www.tac.mta.ca/tac/volumes/22/22/22-22abs.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Homotopical interpretation of globular complex by multipointed d-space</a> to remove from a multipointed $d$-space all points which do not belong to an execution path. The cofibrant replacement cleans up the underlying space by removing the useless topological structure.</p> <p>It turns out that the model structure constructed in <a href="http://www.tac.mta.ca/tac/volumes/22/22/22-22abs.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Homotopical interpretation of globular complex by multipointed d-space</a> is the left determined model category with respect to the set of generating cofibrations $\mathrm{Glob}(\mathbf{S}^{n-1}) \subset \mathrm{Glob}(\mathbf{D}^{n})$ for $n\geq 0$ and the map $\{0,1\} \to \{0\}$ identifying two points where $\mathbf{S}^{n-1}$ is the $(n-1)$-dimensional sphere, $\mathbf{D}^{n}$ the $n$-dimensional disk, and where $\mathrm{Glob}(Z)$ is the multipointed $d$-space whose definition is explained in the paper (I don't think that it is important to recall it in this post).</p> <p>Now here is the question. I would be interested in considering the multipointed $d$-spaces $\vec{[0,1]^n}$ defined as follows</p> <ol> <li>The underlying space is the $n$-cube $[0,1]^n$</li> <li>The set of distinguished states is the set of vertices $\{0,1\}^n \subset [0,1]^n$</li> <li>The set of execution paths is generated by the continuous maps from $[0,1]$ to $[0,1]^n$ such that of course $0$ and $1$ are mapped to a point of $\{0,1\}^n$ and such that these maps are nondecreasing with respect to each axis of coordinates.</li> </ol> <p>The multipointed $d$-space $\partial\vec{[0,1]^n}$ is defined in the same way by removing the interior of the $n$-cube.</p> <p>Using Vopenka's principle and a result of Tholen and Rosicky, there exists a left determined model category structure with respect to the set of generating cofibrations $\partial\vec{[0,1]^n} \subset \vec{[0,1]^n}$ with $n\geq 0$ and $R:\{0,1\}\to \{0\}$. </p> <blockquote> <p>How is it possible to remove Vopenka's principle from this statement ?</p> </blockquote> <p>This question is probably too complicated for a post but if someone could give me a starting point, I would be very grateful. It is the reason why I ask the question anyway. Note: the presence of the map $\{0,1\}\to \{0\}$ in the set of generating cofibrations is not mandatory because I start considering in other parts of my work model structures where I remove this map from the set of generating cofibrations.</p> http://www.4124039.com/q/327512 4 Cotangent complex and its distinguished triangle- a generalisation?

The cotangent complex <span class="math-container">$\mathbf{L}_{C/A}$</span> is (the value at <span class="math-container">$C$</span> of) the Quillen left derived functor of <span class="math-container">$$C\otimes_-\Omega^1_{-/A} \ : \ \text{simplicial }A\text{ rings over }C\ \longrightarrow \ \text{simplicial }C\text{ modules}$$</span> Note that <span class="math-container">$D(C)$</span> is the homotopy category of simplicial <span class="math-container">$C$</span> modules, by Dold-Kan.</p> <blockquote> <p>Is there a deeper reason for the triangle, or is it something very special about <span class="math-container">$\mathbf{L}$</span>? i.e. can we say anything about when a derived Quillen functor (say between stable model categories) admits a long exact sequence like this?</p> </blockquote> <p>The question must be fairly subtle because already the result fails if we replace rings with general schemes in the above, except under certain conditions on the maps <span class="math-container">$X\to Y\to Z$</span>.</p> http://www.4124039.com/q/326596 6 Model category structure on spectra Tintin http://www.4124039.com/users/12204 2019-03-28T16:24:45Z 2019-04-03T13:41:38Z <p>I have a concrete question for the algebraic category of spectra, but if there is an answer for its topological analogue I would be interested in it.</p> <p>Let <span class="math-container">$S$</span> be a finite dimensional <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noetherian_scheme" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Noetherian scheme</a> and <span class="math-container">$\mathbf{Spt}(S)$</span> the category of spectra over <span class="math-container">$S$</span>.

My question is:</p> <blockquote> <p>Is there a model structure on <span class="math-container">$\mathbf{Spt}(S)$</span>, having <span class="math-container">$\mathbf{SH}(S)$</span> as homotopy category, such that every object is fibrant? If so, could you provide a reference?</p> </blockquote> <p>For example, does the obvious candidate, given by the class of <span class="math-container">$\mathbb{A}^1$</span>-stable equivalences as weak equivalences, surjective morphisms as fibrations, and cofibrations defined via the left lifting property, define a model structure on <span class="math-container">$\mathbf{Spt}(S)$</span>? </p> http://www.4124039.com/q/326647 8 On model categories where every object is bifibrant Simon Henry http://www.4124039.com/users/22131 2019-03-29T08:53:01Z 2019-04-02T08:52:57Z <p>Most model structures we use either have that every object is fibrant or that every object is cofibrant, and we have <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1003.1342" rel="nofollow noreferrer">various</a> <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1403.5303" rel="nofollow noreferrer">general</a> <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0007070.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">constructions</a> that allow (under some assumption) to go from one situation to the other.</p> <p>But there are very few examples of model categories where every object is both fibrant and cofibrant ("bifibrant").</p> <p>The only example I know is when one starts with a strict 2-category with strict 2-limits and 2-colimits there are <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/2-trivial+model+structure" rel="nofollow noreferrer">model structures</a> on its underlying 1-category where every object is bifibrant and whose Dwyer-Kan localization is equivalent to the <span class="math-container">$2$</span>-category itself (where one drop non-invertible 2-cells). So this typically applies to the canonical model category on Cat or on Groupoids. I'm not even sure it can be used to model things like the <span class="math-container">$2$</span>-category of categories with finite limits.</p> <p>I don't believe there are that many other examples.

I believe another way to put this is to ask: is there a fibrant replacement functor in the Joyal model structure which is a right adjoint, or else a colimit of functors which are right adjoints?</p> <p><strong>What I mean by "non-recursive"</strong></p> <p><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/0712.0724" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Garner's small object argument</a> certainly provides a functorial fibrant replacement which is simple enough to describe, but the description is still recursive. I think one could hope for something better.</p> <p>Let me illustrate this in the setting of the Quillen model structure. In this setting Garner's construction also provides a fibrant replacement functor <span class="math-container">$G$</span>, but I think <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Kan+fibrant+replacement#_functor" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Kan's <span class="math-container">$Ex^\infty$</span> functor</a> is clearly "simpler" than <span class="math-container">$G$</span>. There is a closed-form" description of <span class="math-container">$Ex^\infty X$</span>: an <span class="math-container">$n$</span>-cell consists of a map <span class="math-container">$\mathrm{sd}^k\Delta^n \to X$</span> for some <span class="math-container">$k$</span>, where <span class="math-container">$\mathrm{sd}$</span> is the subdivision functor. Whereas <span class="math-container">$GX$</span> can seemingly only be described recursively: an <span class="math-container">$n$</span>-cell of <span class="math-container">$GX$</span> is the result of some sequence of horn-fillers being pasted in and possibly identified.</p> <p>You might object that describing the <span class="math-container">$Ex^\infty$</span> functor does require <em>some</em> recursion, in that we need to consider iterates of the subdivision functor <span class="math-container">$\mathrm{sd}$</span>. I think the crucial distinction is that this recursion is independent of <span class="math-container">$X$</span> -- we only need to consider iterated subdivisions in a small set of universal cases -- the simplices <span class="math-container">$\Delta^n$</span>. Whereas to compute <span class="math-container">$GX$</span> we need to perform a recursion separately for each <span class="math-container">$X$</span> we consider.</p> <p>Well -- that's a bit of a lie. I believe <span class="math-container">$G$</span> commutes with filtered colimits, so we really only need to compute <span class="math-container">$GX$</span> on the small set of all finite simplicial sets <span class="math-container">$X$</span>, and then extend it formally. But it's already an undecidable problem to compute <span class="math-container">$GX$</span> for all finite <span class="math-container">$X$</span> because this includes the word problem for groups. So maybe the key distinction is that the recursive procedure involved in computing <span class="math-container">$Ex^\infty X$</span> is actually (easily!) decideable whereas the one involved in computing <span class="math-container">$G X$</span> is not.</p> <p><strong>Why adjointness would help</strong></p> <p>Suppose we have a fibrant replacement functor <span class="math-container">$R: \mathsf{sSet} \to \mathsf{sSet}$</span> which has a left adjoint <span class="math-container">$L: \mathsf{sSet} \to \mathsf{sSet}$</span>. Then we necessarily have <span class="math-container">$(RX)_n \cong \mathrm{Hom}(L\Delta^n,X)$</span>. So in order to compute <span class="math-container">$R$</span>, we need only compute <span class="math-container">$L\Delta^n$</span> for each <span class="math-container">$n$</span>.

Tim Campion http://www.4124039.com/users/2362 2019-03-12T19:22:35Z 2019-03-13T00:44:25Z <p>In <em>Pursuing Stacks</em>, Grothendieck uses the category <span class="math-container">$Cat$</span> of small categories to model spaces. A recurring theme is the question of whether there is a Quillen model structure supporting this homotopy theory, i.e. with weak homotopy equivalences <span class="math-container">$\mathcal W_{min}$</span> -- those functors which become weak homotopy equivalences upon taking classifying spaces.</p> <p>The Thomason model structure is indeed a model structure on <span class="math-container">$Cat$</span> with exactly these weak equivalences. But it's a little strange. The natural idea is to transfer the model structure from <span class="math-container">$sSet$</span> along the nerve / realization adjunction <span class="math-container">$c \dashv N$</span>, but this doesn't quite work so instead one transfers along <span class="math-container">$c \, sd^2 \dashv Ex^2 N$</span> where <span class="math-container">$sd \dashv Ex$</span> is the barycentric subdivision adjunction.</p> <p>But Grothendieck envisioned a much more systematic connection between presheaf categories and <span class="math-container">$Cat$</span>. For a small category <span class="math-container">$A$</span>, he viewed the "category of elements" functor <span class="math-container">$Elts_A : Psh(A) \to Cat$</span> and its right adjoint as the fundamental way to endow <span class="math-container">$Psh(A)$</span> with a notion of weak equivalence. Indeed, he showed (see Cisinski's <em>Les Prefaisceaux comme modeles des types d'homotopie</em> Section 4.2) that if <span class="math-container">$A$</span> is a <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/test+category" rel="noreferrer">test category</a>, then there is a model structure on <span class="math-container">$Psh(A)$</span> with cofibrations the monomorphisms and weak equivalences given by <span class="math-container">$Elts_A^{-1}(\mathcal W_{min})$</span>, which models the homotopy theory of spaces. For example, the Kan-Quillen model structure on <span class="math-container">$sSet$</span> is of this form.</p> <p><strong>Questions:</strong> Let <span class="math-container">$A$</span> be a test category.</p> <ol> <li><p>Is there a model structure on <span class="math-container">$Cat$</span> induced projectively along <span class="math-container">$Elts_A$</span> from the Grothendieck model structure on <span class="math-container">$Psh(A)$</span>?</p></li> <li><p>Is there a model structure on <span class="math-container">$Cat$</span> such that the Grothendieck model structure on <span class="math-container">$Psh(A)$</span> is induced injectively along <span class="math-container">$Elts_A$</span> from this model structure?</p></li> <li><p>If the answer to both (1) and (2) is "yes", then is this perhaps one and the same model structure, possibly even independent of <span class="math-container">$A$</span>?</p></li> </ol> <p>Note that <span class="math-container">$Elts_A$</span> is the "canonical test functor". The categorical realization functor <span class="math-container">$c: sSet \to Cat$</span> is another test functor, but needs to be "improved" to <span class="math-container">$c sd^2$</span> before a model structure can be transferred. So one might also ask for which test functors such a model structure can be transferred, and apparently the answer is "not all of them".

Then we can consider the opposite model category $M^{op}$ with the opposite model structure (fibrations become cofibrations, etc.). This category is also still a monoidal category (the opposite of a monoidal category is canonically a monoidal category). How do all of these possible adjectives interact? Is it still closed? Does the push-out product axiom still hold? It seems like we must lose some things, for instance, if we wanted the axiom "for any cofibrant object $X$ there is an equivalence $1\otimes X\simeq X$" this can't in general be true anymore, can it, since the cofibrant objects are completely different now? </p> <p>In general it seems clear that things break down, but I'm interested in precisely what breaks down.

But from thinking about the Bergner model structure, you might think you'd have to consider the category of simplicial functors $C' \to M'$ where $C'$ is the standard resolution of $C$ and $M'$ is the simplicial localization of $M$. The fact that you don't have to do this hints at some alternate model category -type structure where $C$ is already cofibrant and $M$ is fibrant -- maybe this would be a model structure on relative categories.</p></li> <li><p>A similar phenomenon happens with operads, if I recall correctly (which are also <em>strict</em> monoids for the Kelly tensor product on symmetric sequences) -- the usual model structure (Berger-Moerdijk, I believe) is much more stringent in its cofibrancy requirements than what is needed in practice.</p></li> <li><p>As hinted at in the comments, it's a good idea to ask whether the existing "projective" model structures $M$ are left proper.

The <em>oplax limit</em> of $F$ is the category whose objects consist of an object $x_r \in F(r)$ for all $r$ together with a morphism $x_s \to F(d)(x_{r})$ for all morphisms $d:r\to s$ in $R$, satisfying obvious compatibility conditions.</p> <p>I have some vague memory of reading a paper in which, given a functor as above in which $R$ is a Reedy category, each category $F(r)$ is a model category, and probably some other conditions, a "Reedy-type" model structure on the oplax limit (or perhaps some related category) was constructed. However, I have been totally unable to find this paper again; the closest I can find is <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1010.0717" rel="nofollow">this paper</a> which considers "injective-type" model structures on lax limits.

David White http://www.4124039.com/users/11540 2012-08-15T17:00:04Z 2019-02-13T11:54:46Z <p>I'm doing some work with model categories and operads, and to check a certain hypothesis I've had to learn a bit of equivariant homotopy theory. Let $M$ be a model category and $G$ be a finite group. We can assume $M$ is cofibrantly generated and left proper, but I'm trying to avoid assuming $M$ is combinatorial. If necessary we can assume $M$ is cellular, but right now I don't see how that can help. It has turned out to be useful to know that $M^G$ has a model structure where the cofibrations are $G$-equivariant maps which are cofibrations in $M$. This is simply the <a href="http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/model+structure+on+functors" rel="nofollow"><em>injective</em> model structure</a> on $M^G$, where a map $f$ is a weak equivalences or cofibrations if the underlying map in $M$ is such.</p> <p>I tend to think of $M^G$ as a special case of a diagram category $M^I$ (where $I$ is small), because I feel like I have a decent grasp on diagram categories. In that setting, I believe one must know that $M$ is combinatorial in order to know the injective model structure exists. However, I don't have a good reference for this other than having seen it mentioned without proof or reference in a number of papers.</p> <blockquote> <p>(1) Can anyone provide a reference which proves the injective model structure on $M^I$ exists? I'd like to see where the hypothesis that $M$ is combinatorial gets used. I'd also like the reference to prove the injective model structure is cofibrantly generated.</p> </blockquote> <p>It's worth noting that Proposition A.2.8.2 in Lurie's <em>Higher Topos Theory</em> proves existence of the injective model structure, but I'm not satisfied with that for a couple of reasons. First, the proof is very complicated because Lurie wants it to hold in the setting where $M$ and $I$ are enriched over an excellent model category. My ideal reference would be a simpler proof holding in the non-enriched setting, preferably the first place the injective model structure was defined. Second (and related), because everything in this appendix is about combinatorial model categories, I can't help but wonder if there's a proof which relies on that hypothesis less. Finally, it's almost impossible for me to get my hands on the generating (trivial) cofibrations from that proof. Lurie relies on the very-complicated Lemma A.3.3.3 to get generating cofibrations and on Proposition A.2.6.8, which says basically that if you're in a category which is almost combinatorial (missing only generating trivial cofibrations) then you can get the generating trivial cofibrations for free from the generating cofibrations.</p> <p>In the special case where $I$ is a group $G$, I can't seem to find anything on the injective model structure. Most of the work I can find on equivariant homotopy theory uses the projective model structure instead of the injective (and this one is known to exist if $M$ is cofibrantly generated). I imagine that with so much structure on $I$ and with so much theory which has been developed out there for equivariant homotopy theory, one should be able to come up with a much better proof in this setting than the one in HTT.</p> <blockquote> <p>(2) Is the hypothesis that $M$ is combinatorial still necessary to prove existence of the injective model structure on $M^G$? In what ways is this model structure nicer than $M^I$ for a generic $I$?</p> </blockquote> ÌØÂëÉúÐ¤Í¼
