Left determined model categories

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Several methods for constructing left determined model structures are expounded. The starting point is Olschok's work on locally presentable categories. We give sufficient conditions to obtain left determined model structures on a full reflective subcategory, on a full coreflective subcategory and on a comma category. An application is given by constructing a left determined model structure on star-shaped weak transition systems.


When J. H. Smith created the theory of combinatorial model categories he also claimed that, given a locally presentable category \(\mathcal K\) and a set \(I\) of morphisms, there is the smallest model structure on \(\mathcal K\) having cofibrations generated by \(I\). This was verified under Vopěnka's principle [\textit{J. Rosický} and \textit{W. Tholen}, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 355, No. 9, 3611--3623 (2003; Zbl 1030.55015)] but it is still open without assuming this large-cardinal axiom. Later, \textit{M. Olschok} [Appl. Categ. Struct. 19, No. 6, 901--938 (2011; Zbl 1251.18003)] generalizing the work of \textit{D.-C. Cisinski} [J. Pure Appl. Algebra 174, No. 1, 43--82 (2002; Zbl 1015.18009)]. found sufficient conditions when this is true. The present paper continues this approach and, in particular, extends it to reflective and coreflective subcategories.
