Coalgebras in the Dwyer-Kan localization of a model category

Abstract

We show that weak monoidal Quillen equivalences induce equivalences of symmetric monoidal $\infty$-categories with respect to the Dwyer-Kan localization of the symmetric monoidal model categories. The result will induce a Dold-Kan correspondence of coalgebras in $\infty$-categories. Moreover, it shows that Shipley's zig-zag of Quillen equivalences lifts to an explicit symmetric monoidal equivalence of $\infty$-categories for the stable Dold-Kan correspondence. We study homotopy coherent coalgebras associated to a monoidal monoidal category. We show examples when these coalgebras cannot be rigidified. That is, their $\infty$-categories are not equivalent to the Dwyer-Kan localizations of strict coalgebras in the usual monoidal model categories of spectra and of connective discrete $R$-modules.
