Stable Homotopy Seminar, 4: Model categories (Ivo Vekemans)
Channel: Paul VanKoughnett
Date: 2021-03-09

This talk by Ivo Vekemans is a thorough introduction to model categories, presenting: weak factorization systems; the definition of model category and major examples (simplicial sets, topological spaces, and chain complexes); notions of homotopy in a model category, and the homotopy category; Quillen adjunctions, Quillen equivalences, and derived functors.
