Abstract
Homotopical localizations with respect to a set of maps are known to exist in cofibrantly generated model categories (satisfying additional assumptions) [4, 13, 24, 35]. In this paper we expand the existing framework, so that it will apply to not necessarily cofibrantly generated model categories and, more important, will allow for a localization with respect to a class of maps (satisfying some restrictive conditions).
We illustrate our technique by applying it to the equivariant model category of diagrams of spaces [12]. This model category is not cofibrantly generated [8]. We give conditions on a class of maps which ensure the existence of the localization functor; these conditions are satisfied by any set of maps and by the classes of maps which induce ordinary localizations on the generalized fixed-points sets.
