Properties
It is a consequence of the axioms that a left (right) Quillen functor preserves weak equivalences between cofibrant (fibrant) objects. The total derived functor theorem of Quillen says that the total left derived functor
- LF: Ho(C) → Ho(D)
is a left adjoint to the total right derived functor
- RG: Ho(D) → Ho(C).
This adjunction (LF, RG) is called the derived adjunction.
If (F, G) is a Quillen adjunction as above such that
- F(c) → d
is a weak equivalence in D if and only if
- c → G(d)
is a weak equivalence in C then it is called a Quillen equivalence of the closed model categories C and D. In this case the derived adjunction is an adjoint equivalence of categories so that
- LF(c) → d
is an isomorphism in Ho(D) if and only if
- c → RG(d)
is an isomorphism in Ho(C).

Famous quotes containing the word properties:
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
