Cosimplicial models for the limit of the Goodwillie tower

Algebraic Topology 2013-10-25 v5

Abstract

We call attention to the intermediate constructions \TnF\T_n F in Goodwillie's Calculus of homotopy functors, giving a new model which naturally gives rise to a family of towers filtering the Taylor Tower of a functor. We also establish a surprising equivalence between the homotopy inverse limits of these towers and the homotopy inverse limits of certain cosimplicial resolutions. This equivalence gives a greatly simplified construction for the homotopy inverse limit of the Taylor tower of a functor FF under general assumptions.
