Exactness of homotopy functors of spaces

Abstract

We will provide an analysis of the generalized Atiyah–Hirzebruch spectral sequence (GAHSS), which was introduced by Hakim-Hashemi and Kahn. To do so, we introduce a new class of functors, called n - exact functors, which are analogous to Goodwillie’s n -excisive functors. In the study of these functors, we introduce a new spectral sequence, the homological Barratt–Goerss spectral sequence (HBGSS), which has properties similar to those of the classical Barratt–Goerss Spectral Sequence on homotopy. We close by giving an identification of the E 2 term of the GAHSS in the case of 2-exact functors on Moore spaces.
