The Homotopy Theory of Categories
arXiv:2408.05325 · doi:10.1093/imrn/rnaf127
Abstract
In this paper we describe the homotopy category of the categories. To do that we introduce the notion of semi-free category, which plays the role of standard cofibration. Moreover, we define the non unital (resp. DG)categories with cofibrant morphisms and we prove that any non unital (resp. DG)category has a resolution of this kind.
