Symmetric monoidality conjecture for the Goodwillie derivative functor
Symmetric monoidality conjecture for the Goodwillie derivative functor
Let be the category appearing above, let be the corresponding localized category of spectra, and write for the Goodwillie derivative functor on finitary pointed functors. Equip with its indicated symmetric monoidal structure and with the indicated monoidal structure. Symmetric monoidality conjecture. The functor
can be made symmetric monoidal. This would provide a monoidal comparison between the Goodwillie derivatives and the operadic structure on the derivatives of the identity; the statement is presented as a conjecture in the paper, and its resolution is not established in the supplied text.
