Homological localisation of model categories

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: One of the most useful methods for studying the stable homotopy category is localising at some spectrum E. For an arbitrary stable model category we introduce a candidate for the E-localisation of this model category. We study the properties of this new construction and relate it to some well-known categories.


A stable model category is a model category of a particular kind; in particular, if \({\mathcal C}\) is a stable model category then the homotopy category \(\text{Ho}({\mathcal C})\) is a module over the stable homotopy category \(\text{Ho}({\mathcal S})\). Let \(E\) be a spectrum, and consider \(\text{Ho}(L_E{\mathcal S})\), the Bousfield localisation of the stable homotopy category at \(E\). Given a well-behaved stable model category \({\mathcal C}\), the authors construct a new model structure \({\mathcal C}_E\) on \({\mathcal C}\) such that the action of \(\text{Ho}({\mathcal S})\) on \(\text{Ho}({\mathcal C}_E)\) factors through \(\text{Ho}(L_E{\mathcal S})\), and they show that \({\mathcal C}_E\) has a universal property. Also, for a stable model category \({\mathcal C}\) with an equivalence \(\Phi: \text{Ho}(L_E{\mathcal S})\to \text{Ho}({\mathcal C})\), they show that \(L_E{\mathcal S}\) and \({\mathcal C}\) are Quillen equivalent if and only if \(\Phi\) is a equivalence of \(\text{Ho}({\mathcal S})\)-module categories.
