Idea

The global model structure on simplicial presheaves [C op,sSet Quillen][C^{op}, sSet_{Quillen}] on a small category CC is the global model structure on functors on CC with values in sSet QuillensSet_{Quillen}, the standard model structure on simplicial sets.

It presented the (∞,1)-category of (∞,1)-functors from C opC^{op} to ∞Grpd, hence the (∞,1)-category of (∞,1)-presheaves on CC.

The left Bousfield localizations of [C op,sSet] proj[C^{op}, sSet]_{proj} are, up to Quillen equivalence, precisely the combinatorial model categories.

In particular, if CC carries the structure of a site, then

These localizations present the topological localization and hypercompletion of the (∞,1)-topos of (,1)(\infty,1)-presheaves on CC to the corresponding (∞,1)-topos of (∞,1)-sheaves/∞-stacks on CC.

Definition

In every global model structure on simplicial presheaves on CC the weak equivalences are objectwise those with respect to the standard model structure on simplicial sets.

A morphism f:ABf : A \to B in [C op,SSet][C^{op}, SSet] is, thus, a weak equivalence with respect to a global model structure precisely if for all UObj(C)U \in Obj(C) the morphism

f(U):A(U)B(U) f(U) : A(U) \to B(U)

is a weak equivalence of simplicial set (i.e. a morphism inducing isomorphisms of simplicial homotopy groups).

There are several choices for how to extend this notion of weak equivalences to an entire model category structure. The two common extreme choices are

The other class of morphisms (cofibrations / fibrations) is in each case fixed by the corresponding lifting property.
