Abstract: We provide conditions on a monoidal model category mathcalM so that the category of commutative monoids in mathcalM inherits a model structure from mathcalM in which a map is a weak equivalence or fibration if and only if it is so in mathcalM. We then investigate properties of cofibrations of commutative monoids, rectification between Einfty-algebras and commutative monoids, the relationship between commutative monoids and monoidal Bousfield localization functors, when the category of commutative monoids can be made left proper, and functoriality of the passage from a commutative monoid R to the category of commutative R-algebras. In the final section we provide numerous examples of model categories satisfying our hypotheses.


Let \(\mathcal{M}\) be a monoidal model category. Comparing to non-commutative case, it is much more difficult to find a suitable monoid axiom which guarantees that commutative monoids in \(\mathcal{M}\) inherit a model structure. The author overcomes this difficulty and introduce the commutative monoid axiom in this paper. To do this, the authors work with \(E_{\infty}\)-algebras. The author also provides numerous examples of model categories satisfying the axiom in the last section of the paper. Additionally, he gives results regarding functoriality of the passage from \(R\) to commutative \(R\)-algebras, regarding rectification between Com and \(E_{\infty}\), regarding the interplay between the strong commutative monoid axiom and Bousfield localization, and regarding left properness for the category of commutative monoids.
