Proof.By construction, the object is compact in
. Let denote the set of maps in (8.4),
the strongly saturated collection of arrows generated
by [52, 5.5.4.5], and let be an -local
object such that the map is an -local
equivalence (i.e., is in ).
Then by definition,
so it suffices to show that the functor
(9.11)
sends the maps in to equivalences of
spectra. Since is a stable -category and
is compact, preserves small colimits,
so the two-out-of-three property allows us to reduce to checking that
sends the elements of to equivalences.
Consider the following diagram
(9.12)
By applying the functor (9.11) to the above diagram
(9.12) we obtain by theorem 9.9 a diagram in
(9.13)
where the upper row is a homotopy cofiber sequence. Now, an
argument analogous to the one used in the proof of
proposition 7.19 (where we make use of Waldhausen’s
fibration theorem) allow us to conclude that the lower row in the
above diagram (9.13) is also a homotopy
cofiber sequence. This completes the argument.
