The empty set in homotopy theoretic terms (as a simplicial set/top. space)

I am currently confused about the empty set in terms of its path components and how this fits into the Quillen adjunction between topological spaces and simplicial sets. Probably, one of my ...

Kan fibrations and surjectivity

I have a basic question on the usual model structure on simplicial sets. What is the relation between being a Kan (trivial maybe ?) fibration and surjectivity ? Surjectivity here means either ...

left inverse to trivial fibration is trivial cofibration

It is claimed that in the model category of simplicial sets (with usual model structure), a trivial fibration $X \to Y$ has a section, which is a trivial cofibration. Now, I see that there is a ...
