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.
