Model Categories and Their Localizations
Share this pagePhilip S. Hirschhorn
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 homotopy category in terms of the
original category. This allows you to make constructions analogous to
those used to study the homotopy theory of topological spaces.
A model category has a class of maps called weak equivalences plus
two other classes of maps, called cofibrations and fibrations.
Quillen's axioms ensure that the homotopy category exists and that the
cofibrations and fibrations have extension and lifting properties
similar to those of cofibration and fibration maps of topological
spaces. During the past several decades the language of model
categories has become standard in many areas of algebraic topology,
and it is increasingly being used in other fields where homotopy
theoretic ideas are becoming important, including modern algebraic
\(K\)-theory and algebraic geometry.
All these subjects and more are discussed in the book, beginning
with the basic definitions and giving complete arguments in order to
make the motivations and proofs accessible to the novice. The book is
intended for graduate students and research mathematicians working in
homotopy theory and related areas.

Reviews & Endorsements
This book was many years in the writing, and it shows. It is very carefully written, exhaustively (even obsessively) cross-referenced, and precise in all its details. In short, it is an important reference for the subject.
