Goodwillie calculus and Whitehead products
Published 13 Sep 2011 in math.AT | (1109.2691v1)
Abstract: We prove that iterated Whitehead products of length (n+1) vanish in any value of an n-excisive functor in the sense of Goodwillie. We compare then different notions of homotopy nilpotency, from the Berstein-Ganea definition to the Biedermann-Dwyer one. The latter is strongly related to Goodwillie calculus and we analyze the vanishing of iterated Whitehead products in such objects.
