As a model category, it resembles the category of topological spaces, but its underlying category is a coherent topos. We will show in future work that its cofibrant objects are precisely the \"weak polytopes\" of Knebusch.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-08-26T17:59:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55U40", "03C64", "18F10", "55U35" ], "keywords": [ "model category", "o-minimal geometry", "weak polytopes", "real closed field", "coherent topos" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 99, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
