Dual Goodwillie calculus conjecture for simplicial model categories

About 16 years old · traced to

Let C\mathcal{C} be a simplicial model category in which Goodwillie calculus can be performed, with stabilization functors ΣC∞\Sigma^\infty_\mathcal{C} and ΩC∞\Omega^\infty_\mathcal{C}. Write ∂∗(ΣC∞ΩC∞)\partial_*(\Sigma^\infty_\mathcal{C}\Omega^\infty_\mathcal{C}) for the prospective cooperad of generalized Goodwillie derivatives of ΣC∞ΩC∞\Sigma^\infty_\mathcal{C}\Omega^\infty_\mathcal{C}, and write ∂∗IC\partial_*I_\mathcal{C} for the corresponding derivatives of the identity functor.

Dual Goodwillie calculus conjecture. There should be a cooperad ∂∗(ΣC∞ΩC∞)\partial_*(\Sigma^\infty_\mathcal{C}\Omega^\infty_\mathcal{C}) and an equivalence of operads

∂∗IC≃C(∂∗(ΣC∞ΩC∞)).\partial_*I_\mathcal{C} \simeq C\bigl(\partial_*(\Sigma^\infty_\mathcal{C}\Omega^\infty_\mathcal{C})\bigr).

The conjecture is imprecisely stated because a proper formulation requires coloured operads of spectra, which are outside the scope of the paper; the authors expect their results to extend to that setting.
