Idea

A modelizer is a presentation of the (∞,1)-category of ∞-groupoids, or at least, the homotopy category thereof.

Definition

A modelizer is a category MM and a subcategory WW satisfying these conditions:

More precisely, it is a category MM equipped with a functor π:MHo(Top)\pi : M \to Ho(Top) such that, for WW the class of morphisms inverted by π\pi, the induced functor M[W 1]Ho(Top)M [W^{-1}] \to Ho(Top) is an equivalence of categories.

A morphism of modelizers (M,W)(M,W)(M, W) \to (M', W') is a functor F:MMF : M \to M' such that:

  • FF sends morphisms in WW to morphisms in WW'.
  • The functor M[W 1]M[W 1]M [W^{-1}] \to M' [W'^{-1}] so induced is an equivalence of categories.
  • The composite MFMπHo(Top)M \overset{F}{\to} M' \overset{\pi}{\to} Ho(Top) is isomorphic to MπHo(Top)M \overset{\pi}{\to} Ho(Top).

An elementary modelizer is a modelizer whose underlying category is the category of presheaves on a test category, with the weak equivalences the ones described at the linked page.

Examples

The main examples turn out to be model categories:

Cisinski’s theorem

Theorem (Cisinski)

If AA is a test category, then there exists a model structure on [A op,Set][A^{op}, Set] that is Quillen-equivalent to the standard model structure on sSetsSet.
