The constructive Kan-Quillen model structure: two new proofs

Algebraic Topology 2022-06-30 v3 Category Theory

Abstract

We present two new proofs of Simon Henry's result that the category of simplicial sets admits a constructive counterpart of the classical Kan-Quillen model structure. Our proofs are entirely self-contained and avoid complex combinatorial arguments on anodyne extensions. We also give new constructive proofs of the left and right properness of the model structure.
