Localization of A Category - Set-theoretic Issues

Set-theoretic Issues

In general, given a category C and some class w of morphisms in the category, there is some question as to whether it is possible to form a localization w-1 C by inverting all the morphisms in w. The typical procedure for constructing the localization might result in a pair of objects with a proper class of morphisms between them. Avoiding such set-theoretic issues is one of the initial reasons for the development of the theory of model categories.

Famous quotes containing the word issues:

    The “universal moments” of child rearing are in fact nothing less than a confrontation with the most basic problems of living in society: a facing through one’s children of all the conflicts inherent in human relationships, a clarification of issues that were unresolved in one’s own growing up. The experience of child rearing not only can strengthen one as an individual but also presents the opportunity to shape human relationships of the future.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)
