Abstract

In this work, we compare the two approximations of a path-connected space XX, by the Ganea spaces Gn(X)G_n(X) and by the realizations ΛXn\|\Lambda_\bullet X\|_{n} of the truncated simplicial resolutions emerging from the loop-suspension cotriple ΣΩ\Sigma\Omega. For a simply connected space XX, we construct maps ΛXn1Gn(X)ΛXn\|\Lambda_\bullet X\|_{n-1}\to G_n(X)\to \|\Lambda_\bullet X\|_{n} over XX, up to homotopy. In the case n=2n=2, we prove the existence of a map G2(X)ΛX1G_2(X)\to\|\Lambda_\bullet X\|_{1} over XX (up to homotopy) and conjecture that this map exists for any nn.
