Simplicial localization

{{Short description|Category theory}}

In category theory, a branch of mathematics, the simplicial localization of a category C with respect to a class W of morphisms of C is a simplicial category LC whose \pi_0 is the localization C[W^{-1}] of C with respect to W; that is, \pi_0 LC(x, y) = C[W^{-1}](x, y) for any objects x, y in C. The notion is due to Dwyer and Kan.
