Exact sequences and closed model categories (Q988084)

The authors construct Eckman-Hilton and Puppe sequences in model categories without zero object using the category over the initial object and the category under the final object. As an application, the authors obtain that the cohomology of a group \(G\) with coefficients in a \(G\)-module can be interpreted as certain homotopy groups of twisted Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces in the category of spaces under and over the Eilenberg-Mac Lane space \(K(G,1)\). Finally, an application in the category of exterior spaces under \(\mathbb{R}_+\) is given, connecting Brown-Grossmann exterior homotopy groups with Steenrod exterior homotopy groups by means of an exact sequence.
