Description for Model Categories and Their Localizations (Mathematical Surveys and Monographs)
Paperback. Series: Mathematical Surveys and Monographs. BIC Classification: PB. Weight in Grams: 899.
The aim of this book is to explain modern homotopy theory in a manner accessible to graduate students yet structured so that experts can skip over numerous linear developments to quickly reach the topics of their interest. Homotopy theory arises from choosing a class of maps, called weak equivalences, and then passing to the homotopy category by localizing with respect to the weak equivalences, i.e., by creating a new category in which the weak equivalences are isomorphisms. Quillen defined a model category to be a category together with a class of weak equivalences and additional structure useful for describing the ... Read more
