Abstract

The mapping spaces of the rr-truncated versions of the EnE_n operads appear as the rr-th stage of the Taylor tower for long embedding spaces. It has been shown that their rational homotopy groups can be expressed through graph homology in the limit rr\to \infty. For finite rr only a part of the graph homology appears in the homotopy groups of the Taylor tower at this stage, possibly along with some additional unstable homotopy groups. In this paper we study the convergence properties in some more detail. In particular, we provide bounds for the stage rr at which the various graph homology classes start appearing, and we provide degree bounds for the unstable (i.e., vanishing as rr\to \infty) terms in the homotopy groups of the tower.
