Synthetic approach to the Quillen model structure on topological spaces

Algebraic Topology 2025-12-23 v2 Category Theory

Abstract

We provide an axiomatic treatment of Quillen's construction of the model structure on topological spaces to make it applicable to a wider range of settings, including Δ\Delta-generated spaces and pseudotopological spaces. We use this axiomatization to construct a model structure on the category of locales.
