Proof: Let M be an object of 𝒯 and write M=M0. Let X∈S⟂∞ and suppose we have a morphism α0:M0→X. By the argument of Proposition 3.2 we can construct the following commutative diagram:

XM0μ0α0M1μ1α1M2μ2α2⋯Mnμnαn⋯.

with Mn∈S⟂n for each n⩾1. We now construct the homotopy colimit, hocolim⁢(Mi). By construction, the composite

∐i=0∞Mi⟶1−shift∐i=0∞Mi⟶⟨αi⟩X

is zero, so that we have the following commutative diagram:

  ∐i=0∞Mi    1−shift          0         ∐i=0∞Mi           ⟨αi⟩         hocolim⁢(Mi)           ∃         Σ⁢∐Mi   X  .

That is, every morphism M→X factors through hocolim⁢(Mi)→X.

Now we have:

Hom⁢(S,Σj⁢hocolim⁢(Mi)) ≅ Hom⁢(S,hocolim⁢(Σj⁢Mi))
≅ colim⁢Hom⁢(S,Σj⁢Mi)
= 0

for j⩾1. We obtain the first isomorphism because the homotopy colimit commutes with the suspension functor and the second isomorphism by Lemma 3.5. The final equality is a consequence of the fact that Hom⁢(S,Σj⁢Mi)=0 for i sufficiently large and j⩾1. Hence we have hocolim⁢(Mi)∈S⟂∞. Therefore, setting M¯=hocolim⁢(Mi), we obtain an S⟂∞-preenvelope μ:M→M¯. □
