If is a category, an object of pro- is stable if it is isomorphic in pro- to an object of . A local condition on such a pro-object, called strong-movability, is defined, and it is shown in various contexts that this condition is equivalent to stability. Also considered, in the case is a suitable model category, is the stability problem in the homotopy category Ho(pro-), where pro- has the induced closed model category structure defined by Edwards and Hastings [6].
