Abstract

We study weak commutative algebras in a symmetric monoidal model category M\mathscr{M}. We provide a model structure on these algebras for any symmetric monoidal model category that is combinatorial and left proper. Our motivation was to have a homotopy theory of weak commutative dg-algebras in characteristic p>0p>0, since there is no such theory for strict commutative dg-algebras. For a general M\mathscr{M}, we show that if the projective model structure on strict commutative algebras exists, then the inclusion from strict to weak algebras is a Quillen equivalence. The results of this paper can be generalized to symmetric co-Segal P\mathcal{P}-algebras for any operad P\mathcal{P}. And surprisingly, the axioms of a monoidal model category are not necessary to get the model structure on co-Segal commutative algebras
