Pro-categories in homotopy theory

Ilan Barnea, Yonatan Harpaz and Geoffroy Horel

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 17 (2017) 567–643
Abstract

Our goal in this paper is to prove an equivalence between the model categorical approach to pro-categories, as studied by Isaksen, Schlank and the first author, and the –categorical approach, as developed by Lurie. Three applications of our main result are described. In the first application we use (a dual version of) our main result to give sufficient conditions on an ω–combinatorial model category, which insure that its underlying –category is ω–presentable. In the second application we show that the topological realization of any Grothendieck topos coincides with the shape of the hypercompletion of the associated –topos. In the third application we show that several model categories arising in profinite homotopy theory are indeed models for the –category of profinite spaces. As a byproduct we obtain new Quillen equivalences between these models, and also obtain an example which settles negatively a question raised by G Raptis.
