The conjectural model structure on -precat categories
The conjectural model structure on -precat categories
Let be an -operad, and let -precats be the associated category of precategories. Assume the cofibrations are the maps defined in the preceding construction, and call a morphism a weak equivalence when the induced map is an equivalence of -categories.
Model-structure conjecture. For a wide range of -operads , the category of -precats admits a closed model structure with these cofibrations and weak equivalences, and with fibrations the maps satisfying the lifting property with respect to trivial cofibrations.
Such a model structure would provide a homotopical framework for -categories and their precategorical presentations. The source does not specify the range of operads or provide evidence of resolution.
