Model categories with simple homotopy categories

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In the present article, we describe constructions of model structures on general bicomplete categories. We are motivated by the following question: given a category mathcalC with a subcategory wmathcalC closed under retracts, when is there a model structure on mathcalC with wmathcalC as the subcategory of weak equivalences? We begin exploring this question in the case where wmathcalC=F−1(mathrmiso,mathcalD) for some functor F:mathcalCightarrowmathcalD. We also prove properness of our constructions under minor assumptions and examine an application to the category of infinite graphs.
