Whitehead Products in Function Spaces: Quillen Model Formulae
نویسنده
چکیده
We study Whitehead products in the rational homotopy groups of a general component of a function space. For the component of any based map f : X → Y , in either the based or free function space, our main results express the Whitehead product directly in terms of the Quillen minimal model of f . These results follow from a purely algebraic development in the setting of chain complexes of derivations of differential graded Lie algebras, which is of interest in its own right. We apply the results to study the Whitehead length of function space components.

Homotopy completion and topological Quillen homology of structured ring spectra
Working in the context of symmetric spectra, we describe and study a homotopy completion tower for algebras and left modules over operads in the category of modules over a commutative ring spectrum (e.g., structured ring spectra). We prove a strong convergence theorem that for 0-connected algebras and modules over a (−1)-connected operad, the homotopy completion tower interpolates (in a strong ...
متن کاملEquivariant weak n-equivalences
The notion of n-type was introduced by J.H.C. Whitehead ([22, 23]) where its clear geometric meaning was presented. Following J.L. Hernandez and T. Porter ([12, 13]) we use the term weak n-equivalence for a map f : X → Y of path-connected spaces which induces isomorphisms πk(f) : πk(X)→ πk(Y ) on homotopy groups for k ≤ n. Certainly, weak n-equivalence of a map determines its n-connectedness bu...
متن کاملOn Fox Spaces and Jacobi Identities
In 1945, R. Fox introduced the so-called Fox torus homotopy groups in which the usual homotopy groups are embedded and their Whitehead products are expressed as commutators. A modern treatment of Fox torus homotopy groups and their generalization has been given and studied. In this note, we further explore these groups and their properties. We discuss co-multiplications on Fox spaces and Jacobi...
متن کاملAndré–Quillen cohomology and rational homotopy of function spaces
We develop a simple theory of André–Quillen cohomology for commutative differential graded algebras over a field of characteristic zero. We then relate it to the homotopy groups of function spaces and spaces of homotopy self-equivalences of rational nilpotent CW-complexes. This puts certain results of Sullivan in a more conceptual framework. © 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
متن کاملAn Algebraic Model for Rational S-equivariant Stable Homotopy Theory
Greenlees defined an abelian category A whose derived category is equivalent to the rational S1-equivariant stable homotopy category whose objects represent rational S1equivariant cohomology theories. We show that in fact the model category of differential graded objects in A models the whole rational S1-equivariant stable homotopy theory. That is, we show that there is a Quillen equivalence be...
