6 new papers this time, from Goerss-Henn-Mahowald-Rezk, 2 from
Kadeishvili-Saneblidze, Klein, Levi-Oliver, and
Rodriguez-Scherer-Viruel.  Also, I fixed a stupid error in my paper
Hovey/comodule so if you downloaded that before Oct. 15, you might want
to download a new copy.

ABSTRACT 

At the prime p=3, we write the spectrum L_{K(2)}S^0 as the inverse limit
of a short tower of fibrations where the fibers are (suspensions of)
explicit homotopy fixed point spectra E_2^{hF} with F a finite subgroup
of the Morava stabilizer group.

A cubical model for a fibration
by
TORNIKE KADEISHVILI AND SAMSON SANEBLIDZE

In the paper the notion of truncating twisting function $\tau
:X\to Q$ from a simplicial set $X$ to a cubical set $Q$ and the
corresponding notion of twisted Cartesian product of these sets
$X\times_{\tau }Q$ are introduced. The latter becomes a cubical
set whose chain complex coincides with the standard twisted tensor
product $C_*(X)\otimes_{\tau_*}C_*(Q)$. This construction together
with the theory of twisted tensor products for homotopy G-algebras
allows to obtain multiplicative models for fibrations.

The paper introduces the notion of a truncating twisting function
from a cubical set to a permutahedral set and the corresponding
notion of twisted Cartesian product of these sets. The latter
becomes a permutocubical set that models in particular the path
space fibration on a loop space. The chain complex of this twisted
Cartesian product in fact is a comultiplicative twisted tensor
product of cubical chains of base and permutahedral chains of
fibre. This construction is formalized as a theory of twisted
tensor products for Hirsch algebras.

Moduli of Suspension Spectra

by John R. Klein
Wayne State University
klein@math.wsu.edu

For a 1-connected spectrum E, we study the moduli space of suspension
spectra which come equipped with a weak equivalence to E. We construct a
spectral sequence converging to the homotopy of the moduli space in
positive degrees.  In the metastable range, we get a complete
homotopical classification of the path components of the moduli space.
Our main tool is Goodwillie's calculus of homotopy functors.

Construction of 2-local finite groups of a type studied by Solomon and Benson
by Ran Levi and Bob Oliver

A $p$-local finite group is an algebraic structure with a classifying 
space which has many of the properties of $p$-completed classifying spaces 
of finite groups. In this paper, we construct a family of 2-local finite 
groups, which are exotic in the following sense:  they are based on 
certain fusion systems over the Sylow 2-subgroup of $\Spin_7(q)$ ($q$ an 
odd prime power) shown by Solomon not to occur as the 2-fusion 
in any actual finite group. Thus, the resulting classifying spaces are not 
homotopy equivalent to the $2$-completed classifying space of any finite 
group. As predicted by Benson, these classifying spaces are also very 
closely related to the Dwyer-Wilkerson space $BDI(4)$.

Often a localization functor (in the category of groups) sends a
finite simple group to another finite simple group. We study when
such a localization also induces a localization between the
automorphism groups and between the universal central extensions.
As a consequence we exhibit many examples of localizations of
finite simple groups which are not simple.
