Abstract

For a pointed topological space X, we use an inductive construction of a simplicial
resolution of X by wedges of spheres to construct a “higher homotopy structure”
for X (in terms of chain complexes of spaces). This structure is then used to define
a collection of higher homotopy invariants which suffice to recover X up to weak
equivalence. It can also be used to distinguish between different maps f W X ! Y
which induce the same morphism f W X ! Y.
