Bousfield localization is a technique in homotopy theory, a branch of algebraic topology, that focuses on constructing new model categories (or topological spaces) from existing ones by inverting certain morphisms (maps). The concept was introduced by Daniel Bousfield in the context of stable homotopy theory, but it has since found applications in various areas of mathematics.
