The accessibility rank of weak equivalences

Algebraic Topology 2015-05-13 v2 Category Theory

Abstract

We study the accessibility properties of trivial cofibrations and weak equivalences in a combinatorial model category and prove an estimate for the accessibility rank of weak equivalences. In particular, we show that the class of weak equivalences between simplicial sets is finitely accessible.
