%0 Journal Article %T Heaps and unpointed stable homotopy theory %A Luk¨¢£¿ Vok£¿¨ªnek %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X In this paper, we show how certain ``stability phenomena'' in unpointed model categories provide the sets of homotopy classes with the structure of abelian heaps, i.e. abelian groups without a choice of a zero. In contrast with the classical situation of stable (pointed) model categories, these sets can be empty. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1312.1709v1
