Homotopy Theory of linear coalgebras

Abstract

We study extensively the homotopy theory of coalgebras. By coalgebras, we mean the full theory of coalgebras: with counits and not necessarily locally conilpotent. For example $\mathcal E_\infty$-coalgebras, $\mathcal A_\infty$-coalgebras, $\mathcal L_\infty$-coalgebras etc. To do so, we define the category of complete curved algebras -- where the notion of quasi-isomorphims does not make sense -- and endow it with a model category structure, equivalent to that of the category of coalgebras.
