Classification of homogeneous functors by classifying spaces of self-equivalences

At least 7 years old · documented by

Let M\mathcal{M} and AA be as in the preceding conjecture. For a manifold MM, let FkA(O(M);M)/we\mathcal{F}_{kA}(\mathcal{O}(M);\mathcal{M})/we denote the weak-equivalence classes of degree-kk homogeneous functors with value equivalent to AA, and let Fk(M)F_k(M) denote the configuration space of kk distinct points in MM. Assume additionally, when k≥2k\geq2, that M\mathcal{M} has a zero object.

Classification conjecture. There are bijections

F1A(O(M);M)/we≅[M,BhautA]\mathcal{F}_{1A}(\mathcal{O}(M);\mathcal{M})/we\cong [M,\emph{Bhaut} A]

when k=1k=1, and

FkA(O(M);M)/we≅[Fk(M),BhautA]\mathcal{F}_{kA}(\mathcal{O}(M);\mathcal{M})/we\cong [F_k(M),\emph{Bhaut} A]

when k≥2k\geq2.

This conjecture would classify homogeneous functors by homotopy classes of maps from the manifold, or from its unordered configuration space in higher degree, into the classifying space of self-weak equivalences of AA. It depends on the preceding conjectural identification of A^\widehat{A} with BhautA\emph{Bhaut} A.
