Comment #1116 by Xiaofa Chen on

I can confused with the proof of proposition 3.4.1.9. By proposition 3.4.1.2, this should be obvious. Am I missing something?

Comment #1124 by Kerodon on

Yep, that's simpler. Thanks!

Comment #1324 by Nick Kuhn on

In Proposition 3.4.1.14, it should say instead of in the line before the second diagram.

Comment #1328 by Kerodon on

Yep. Thanks!

Comment #2417 by Niklas on

Is it ok if you could elaborate on Example 3.4.1.14? Why is a Kan fibration? Why is contractible? And I cannot see clearly why the second square is a homotopy pullback if is contractible. I can understand that by Example 3.4.1.3 it is homotopy pullback if-f is weakly homotopy equivalent to the pullback of the square. This pullback is exactly the same of the first square before writing as , so I am confused a little bit.

I would like to ask about the general philosophy behind your definition of homotopy pullback. In the pdf note of W. G. Dwyer and J. Spalinski, we define a homotopy pullback in any model category . If is a diagram, then the homotopy pullback of it is the pullback of a fibrant replacement of this diagram. It coincides with the pullback of this diagram if is fibrant and the two maps are fibrations. So, in the Kan-Quillen model structure of simplicial sets, the pullback is already a homotopy pullback if is a Kan complex and the two maps are Kan fibrations (if we assume now that X_{0},X,X_{1}) are simplicial sets. If we have only one of the maps to be a Kan fibration, then the pullback is already a homotopy pullback if all simplicial sets are Kan complexes, see Cisinksi's book proposition 2.3.27. But your definition is only for one of the maps to be a Kan fibration without having Kan complexes. If we have only Kan complex then it is also the homotopy fiber product.

Could you explain your approach and how it is related to the standard approach of model categories?

Comment #2423 by Kerodon on

The standard model structure on simplicial sets is right proper. This gives extra flexibility for computing homotopy pullbacks.
