Model structures on finite total orders

Abstract

We initiate the study of model structures on (categories induced by) lattice posets, a subject we dub homotopical combinatorics. In the case of a finite total order [n][n], we enumerate all model structures, exhibiting a rich combinatorial structure encoded by Shapiro's Catalan triangle. This is an application of previous work of the authors on the theory of NN_\infty-operads for cyclic groups of prime power order, along with new structural insights concerning extending choices of certain model structures on subcategories of [n][n].
