It is now understood that Quillen’s notion of ‘closed model category’ captures the essence of abstract homotopy theory very well; but at the same time, the requirement that model categories have all finite limits and colimits means that not every (∞, 1)-category can be presented by a model category. By relaxing this requirement, we are able to expand the class of model categories enough to include presentations for all (∞, 1)-categories. One curious feature of this development is the absence of homotopical concepts in the proofs: the basic theory is purely category-theoretic.

Examples in this talk will be drawn from classical homological algebra. Time permitting, we will see how Tor and Ext can be described as absolute Kan extensions.
