Growth of homotopy groups of spheres via the Goodwillie–EHP sequence

Research output: Contribution to JournalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

We bound the volume of the homotopy groups of the 2-local Goodwillie approximations of a sphere in terms of the amount of 2-torsion in the stable stems, providing a Goodwillie-theoretic refinement of a result of Burklund and Senger. At the (Formula presented.) -excisive approximation, this bound is obtained by ‘multiplying the stable answer by a polynomial of degree (Formula presented.) ’. The main tool is Behrens' Goodwillie–EHP long exact sequence.

I would like to thank Niall Taggart for his encouragement and helpful comments, and for making me aware of the paper [ 1 ] of Arone and Kankaanrinta. I would also like to thank Stephen Theriault and Charlotte Summers for their help and advice, and acknowledge the technical debt to Burklund and Senger. I am grateful to the anonymous referee for the suggestion that the results of the first version of this paper could be substantially improved. This paper was written while the author was a postdoc at the University of Southampton, funded by an EPSRC Doctoral Prize (Grant number EP/T517859/1).
