A Torus Theorem for Homotopy Nilpotent Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 characterize finite homotopy nilpotent loop spaces in the spirit of Hubbuck’s Torus Theorem, and corresponding results for p-compact groups and p-Noetherian groups.

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 ...
متن کاملSmoothing Loop Spaces
Using the theory of p-compact groups and surgery theory, we show that every quasifinite loop space is homotopy equivalent to a smooth manifold. 0. INTRODUCTION, STATEMENT OF RESULTS One of the motivating questions for surgery theory was whether all finite Hspaces are Lie groups up to homotopy equivalence. The question was answered in the negative by Hilton and Roitberg’s discovery of some H-spa...
متن کاملTopology Seminar Non-nilpotent elements in motivic homotopy theory
Classically, the nilpotence theorem of Devinatz, Hopkins, and Smith tells us that non-nilpotent self maps on finite p-local spectra induce nonzero homomorphisms on BP -homology. Motivically, over C, this theorem fails to hold: we have a motivic analog of BP and whilst η : S1,1 → S0,0 induces zero on BP -homology, it is nonnilpotent. Recent work with Haynes Miller has led to a calculation of ηπ∗...

متن کاملOn the Nilpotence Order of β 1
For p > 2, β1 ∈ π 2p2−2p−2(S) is the first positive even-dimensional element in the stable homotopy groups of spheres. A classical theorem of Nishida [Nis73] states that all elements of positive dimension in the stable homotopy groups of spheres are nilpotent. In fact, Toda [Tod68] proved β 2−p+1 1 = 0. For p = 3 he showed that β 1 = 0 while β 5 1 6= 0. In [Rav86] the second author computed the...
