Homotopy Nilpotent Groups

چکیده
We study the connection between the Goodwillie tower of the identity and the lower central series of the loop group on connected spaces. We define the simplicial theory of homotopy n-nilpotent groups. This notion interpolates between infinite loop spaces and loop spaces. We prove that the set-valued algebraic theory obtained by applying π0 is the theory of ordinary n-nilpotent groups and that the Goodwillie tower of a connected space is determined by a certain homotopy left Kan extension. We prove that n-excisive functors of the form ΩF have values in homotopy n-nilpotent groups.

متن کاملA Torus Theorem for Homotopy Nilpotent Groups
Nilpotency for discrete groups can be defined in terms of central extensions. In this paper, the analogous definition for spaces is stated in terms of principal fibrations having infinite loop spaces as fibers, yielding a new invariant we compare with classical cocategory, but also with the more recent notion of homotopy nilpotency introduced by Biedermann and Dwyer. This allows us to character...

متن کاملManifolds with Fundamental Group a Generalized Free Product. I
This announcement describes new methods in the study and classification of differentiable, PI or topological manifolds with infinite fundamental group. If, for example, Y + l is a closed manifold with n^ = Gx *H G2, n> 4, there is a decomposition Y~YtUx Y2 with ir1(Yx) = G1,irl(Yl) = G2, itt(X) = H. For large classes of fundamental groups, the codimension one splitting theorems of [C3], extendi...
متن کاملDetermination of the multiplicative nilpotency of self-homotopy sets
The semigroup of the homotopy classes of the self-homotopy maps of a finite complex which induce the trivial homomorphism on homotopy groups is nilpotent. We determine the nilpotency of these semigroups of compact Lie groups and finite Hopf spaces of rank 2. We also study the nilpotency of semigroups for Lie groups of higher rank. Especially, we give Lie groups with the nilpotency of the semigr...
