Fibers of partial totalizations of a pointed cosimplicial space

Algebraic Topology 2015-12-21 v3 Category Theory

Abstract

Let XX^\bullet be a cosimplicial object in a pointed \infty-category. We show that the fiber of Totm(X)Totn(X)\mathrm{Tot}_m(X^\bullet) \to \mathrm{Tot}_n(X^\bullet) depends only on the pointed cosimplicial object ΩkX\Omega^k X^\bullet and is in particular a kk-fold loop object, where k=2nm+2k = 2n - m+2. The approach is explicit obstruction theory with quasicategories. We also discuss generalizations to other types of homotopy limits and colimits.
