Coherent homotopy and localization (Q1296293)

The author's summary: `` The purpose of this paper is to give a direct and relatively simple proof of the fact that the coherent homotopy category CH(Top), introduced in 1983 by Yu. T. Lisitsa and S. Mardešić, is isomorphic to the category Ho(pro-Top), obtained by localizing the category pro-Top at level homotopy equivalences. This result implies that the strong shape category SSh(Top), introduced by these authors is isomorphic to the strong shape categories defined by F. W.~Cathey and J. Segal and by B. Günther''.
