In this paper, we develop a hierarchy of natural localizations of spaces, called the vn-periodizations for n > 0, which may be used to expose and study periodic phenomena in unstable homotopy theory. These vn-periodizations act less radically than the corresponding homological localizations [2] and respect fibrations to a very considerable extent. A major part of this paper is devoted to developing the general theory of periodizations of spaces, thereby providing a foundation for the study of… Expand

The essentials of localization of 1-connected spaces —or, more generally, nilpotent spaces— at a set of primes P were solidly established between 1970 and 1975. Since then, the monograph by Hilton,Expand
Unstable localization and periodicity

Localization in Homotopy Type Theory

We study localization at a prime in homotopy type theory, using self maps of the circle. Our main result is that for a pointed, simply connected type $X$, the natural map $X \to X_{(p)}$ inducesExpand

On the telescopic homotopy theory of spaces
In telescopic homotopy theory, a space or spectrum X is approximated by a tower of localizations LnX, n ≥ 0, taking account of vn-periodic homotopy groups for progressively higher n. For each n ≥ 1,Expand
COLIMITS FOR THE PRO CATEGORY OF TOWERS OFSIMPLICIAL
We describe a certain category of Ind-towers into which the Pro category of towers of simplicial sets embeds, and in which all colimits (rather than just the nite ones) may be constructed explicitly.Expand
