SynopsisWe give here an abelian kernel (central) group extension sequence for calculating, for a non-simply-connected space X, the group of pointed self-homotopy-equivalence classes . This group extension sequence gives in terms of , where Xn is the nth stage of a Postnikov decomposition, and, in particular, determines up to extension for non-simplyconnected spaces X having at most two non-trivial homotopy groups in dimensions 1 and n. We give a simple geometric proof that the sequence splits in the case where is the generalised Eilenberg–McLane space corresponding to the action ϕ: π1 → aut πn, and give some information about the class of the extension in the general case.

SynopsisWe give here a group extension sequence for calculating, for a non-simply-connected space X, the group of self-homotopy-equivalence classes which induce the identity automorphism of the fundamental group, that is the kernel of the representation → aut (π1(X)). This group extension sequence gives in terms of , where Xn is the n-th stage of a Postnikov decomposition. As special cases, we calculate for non-simply-connected spaces having at most two non-trivial homotopy groups, in dimensions 1 and n, as the unit group of a semigroup structure on ; and we calculate up to extension for non-simply-connected spaces having at most three non-trivial homotopy groups. The group is, for nice spaces, isomorphic to the groups and of self-homotopy-equivalence classes of X in the categories top*M and top M, respectively, where X→M = K1(π1(X)) is a top fibration which determines an isomorphism of the fundamental group; and our results are obtained initially in topM.

We construct a Goodwillie tower of categories which interpolates between the category of pointed spaces and the category of spectra. This tower of categories refines the Goodwillie tower of the identity functor in a precise sense. More generally, we construct such a tower for a large class of ∞ \infty -categories C \mathcal {C} and classify such Goodwillie towers in terms of the derivatives of the identity functor of C \mathcal {C} . As a particular application we show how this provides a model for the homotopy theory of simply-connected spaces in terms of coalgebras in spectra with Tate diagonals. Our classification of Goodwillie towers simplifies considerably in settings where the Tate cohomology of the symmetric groups vanishes. As an example we apply our methods to rational homotopy theory. Another application identifies the homotopy theory of p p -local spaces with homotopy groups in a certain finite range with the homotopy theory of certain algebras over Ching’s spectral version of the Lie operad. This is a close analogue of Quillen’s results on rational homotopy.

AbstractApart from simply connected spaces, a non-simply connected co-H-space is a typical example of a space X with a coaction of Bπ1 (X) along rX: X → Bπ1 (X), the classifying map of the universal covering. If such a space X is actually a co-H-space, then the fibrewise p-localization of rX (or the ‘almost’ p-localization of X) is a fibrewise co-H-space (or an ‘almost’ co-H-space, respectively) for every prime p. In this paper, we show that the converse statement is true, i.e. for a non-simply connected space X with a coaction of Bπ1 (X) along rX, X is a co-H-space if, for every prime p, the almost p-localization of X is an almost co-H-space.

In this paper, we define and study a new type of connected spaces called λco-connected space. It is remarkable that the class of λ-connected spaces is a subclass of the class of λco-connected spaces. We discuss some characterizations and properties of λco-connected spaces, λco components and λco-locally connected spaces

Let be two Serre fibrations with same base and fibre in which all the spaces have the homotopy type of simple CW complexes of finite type. We say they are rationally homotopically equivalent if there is a homotopy equivalence between the localizations at Q which covers the identity map of BQ.Such an equivalence implies, of course, an isomorphism of cohomology algebras (over Q) and of rational homotopy groups; on the other hand isomorphisms of these classical algebraic invariants are usually (by far) insufficient to establish the existence of a rational homotopy equivalence.Nonetheless, as we shall show in this note, for certain fibrations rational homotopy equivalence is in fact implied by the existence of an isomorphism of cohomology algebras. While these fibrations are rare inside the class of all fibrations, they do include principal bundles with structure groups a connected Lie group G as well as many associated bundles with fibre G/K.
