Modeling stable one-types

Niles Johnson, Angélica M. Osorno

Classification of homotopy $n$-types has focused on developing algebraic categories which are equivalent to categories of $n$-types. We expand this theory by providing algebraic models of homotopy-theoretic constructions for stable one-types. These include a model for the Postnikov one-truncation of the sphere spectrum, and for its action on the model of a stable one-type. We show that a bicategorical cokernel introduced by Vitale models the cofiber of a map between stable one-types, and apply this to develop an algebraic model for the Postnikov data of a stable one-type.

Keywords: stable homotopy one-type, Picard groupoid
