Goodwillie–Whitehead conjecture: strong form

For each kk, let

δk:ΩΣL(k)ΩΣL(k+1)\delta_k:\Omega^\infty\Sigma L(k)\longrightarrow\Omega^\infty\Sigma L(k+1)

be the map in Kuhn's Kahn–Priddy sequence, and let

δkS1:ΩΣ1kL(k)1ΩΣ1kL(k+1)1\delta^{S^1}_k:\Omega^\infty\Sigma^{1-k}L(k)_1\longrightarrow\Omega^\infty\Sigma^{1-k}L(k+1)_1

be the kk-invariant map of the Goodwillie tower for S1S^1. Goodwillie–Whitehead conjecture, strong form.

Ωkδk=δkS1.\Omega^k\delta_k=\delta^{S^1}_k.

The theorem in the source establishes the k=0k=0 case, while the full compatibility is presented as an open calculus version of the Whitehead conjecture. Kuhn is described as proposing an even stronger natural-transformation-level version.
