Anick's approximation conjecture for elliptic spaces
Anick's approximation conjecture for elliptic spaces
Let be a simply connected finite CW complex, let be a natural number, and let be a simply connected finite Postnikov piece when the second formulation is considered. An -equivalence is the corresponding approximation map through degree . Anick's approximation conjecture. Any simply connected finite CW complex can be approximated arbitrarily closely on the right by an elliptic space: for each natural number there is an elliptic space and an -equivalence . Equivalently, any simply connected finite Postnikov piece can be approximated arbitrarily closely on the left by an elliptic space: for each natural number there is an elliptic space and an -equivalence . The source attributes this problem to Anick and cites its formulation by Félix--Jessup--Murillo; no resolution is stated in the supplied text.
