Abstract: Simplicial presheaves on cartesian spaces provide a general notion of smooth spaces. There is a corresponding smooth version of the singular complex functor, which maps smooth spaces to simplicial sets. We consider the localisation of the (projective or injective) model category of smooth spaces at the morphisms which become weak equivalences under the singular complex functor. We prove that this localisation agrees with a motivic-style mathbbR-localisation of the model category of smooth spaces. Further, we exhibit the singular complex functor for smooth spaces as one of several Quillen equivalences between model categories for spaces and the above mathbbR-local model category of smooth spaces. In the process, we show that the singular complex functor agrees with the homotopy colimit functor up to a natural zig-zag of weak equivalences. We provide a functorial fibrant replacement in the mathbbR-local model category of smooth spaces and use this to compute mapping spaces in terms of singular complexes. Finally, we explain the relation of our fibrant replacement to the concordance sheaf construction introduced recently by Berwick-Evans, Boavida de Brito and Pavlov.
