Connectivity conjecture for the two-component link-map comparison map
Connectivity conjecture for the two-component link-map comparison map
Let and be manifolds of dimensions and , respectively, and let be an -dimensional manifold. Write for the space of link maps, and let denote its second Taylor approximation. When the basepoint lies in the image of the space of link maps, let be the associated map from the homotopy fiber of the comparison map to the relevant cobordism loop space.
Connectivity conjecture. The map is -connected.
This conjecture gives the expected connectivity of the manifold-calculus comparison map for two-component link maps. The source states it as a consequence of the corresponding conjecture for the map from the link-map space to its second Taylor approximation; its resolution is not specified here.
