Abstract
It is well known that, in general, inverse limits do not exist in the homotopy category of spaces. In this chapter we will, however:
-
(i)
(i) discuss a notion of homotopy inverse limits which gets around this difficulty, and
-
(ii)
(ii) show that, up to homotopy, the R-completion of Part I of these notes can be considered as such a homotopy inverse limit.
