A note on noncommutative CW-spectra
Stockholm University, Faculty of Science, Department of Mathematics.
(English)Manuscript (preprint) (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

We use the machinery of Paper I to give an alternative proof of one of the main results of [ABS21]. This result states that the category of noncommutative CW-spectra can be modelled as the category of spectral presheaves on a certain category M, whose objects can be thought of as “suspension spectra of matrix algebras”. The advantage of our proof is that it mainly relies on well-known results on (stable) model categories.

Abstract [en]

This licentiate thesis consists of three papers related to model structures on ind- and pro-categories.

In Paper I a general method for constructing simplicial model structures on ind- and pro-categories is described. This method is particularly useful for constructing ``profinite'' analogues of known model categories. The construction quickly recovers Morel's model structure for pro-p spaces and Quick's model structure for profinite spaces, but it can also be applied to construct many interesting new model structures. In addition, some general properties of this method are studied, such as its functorial behaviour and its relation to Bousfield localization. The construction is compared to the ∞-categorical approach to ind- and pro-categories in an appendix.

In Paper II, it is shown that a profinite completion functor for (simplicial or topological) operads with good homotopical properties can be constructed as a left Quillen functor from an appropriate model category of ∞-operads to a certain model category of profinite ∞-operads. The method for constructing this model category of profinite ∞-operads and the profinite completion functor is similar to the method described in Paper I, but there are a few subtle differences that make this construction more involved. In understanding the model structure for profinite ∞-operads, an important role is played by the so-called lean ∞-operads. It is shown that these lean ∞-operads can, up to homotopy, be characterized by certain homotopical finiteness properties. Several variants of the construction are also discussed, such as the cases of unital (or closed) ∞-operads and of ∞-categories.

In Paper III, the general method from Paper I is used to give an alternative proof of a result by Arone, Barnea and Schlank. This result states that the stabilization of the category of noncommutative CW-complexes can be modelled as the category of spectral presheaves on a certain category M. The advantage of this alternative proof is that it mainly relies on well-known results on (stable) model categories.

2. Model categories, pro-categories and functors

2023 (English)Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

This thesis consists of five papers. The first three are concerned with various model structures on ind- and pro-categories, while the last two are concerned with the homotopy theory of functors.

In Paper I, a general method for constructing simplicial model structures on ind- and pro-categories is described and its basic properties are studied. This method is particularly useful for constructing "profinite" analogues of known model categories. It recovers various known model structures and also constructs many interesting new model structures. 

In Paper II, it is shown that a profinite completion functor for (simplicial or topological) operads with good homotopical properties can be constructed as a left Quillen functor from an appropriate model category of infinity-operads to a certain model category of profinite infinity-operads. The construction of the latter model category is inspired by the method described in Paper I, but there are a few subtle differences that make its construction more involved.

In Paper III, the general method from Paper I is used to give an alternative proof of a result by Arone, Barnea and Schlank. This result states that the stabilization of the category of noncommutative CW-complexes can be modelled as the category of spectral presheaves on a certain category M. The advantage of this alternative proof is that it mainly relies on well-known results on (stable) model categories.

In Paper IV, the question of whether an ordinary functor between enriched categories is equivalent to an enriched functor is addressed. This is done for several types of enrichments: namely when the base of enrichment is (pointed) topological spaces, (pointed) simplicial sets or orthogonal spectra. Simple criteria are obtained under which this question has a positive answer.

In Paper V, the Goodwillie calculus of functors between categories of enriched diagram spaces is described. It is shown that the layers of the Goodwillie tower are classified by certain types of diagrams in spectra, directly generalizing Goodwillie's original classification. Using this classification, an operad structure on the derivatives of the identity functor is constructed that generalizes an operad structure originally constructed by Ching.
