Homotopy localization functor \(L_f\) with respect to maps \(f\) having a wedge of spheres as homotopy cofibre (Q5937674)

Following the homotopy localization framework described by \textit{E. Dror Farjoun} [Cellular spaces, null spaces and homotopy localization, Lect. Notes Math. 1622 (1995; Zbl 0842.55001)], in this paper, in the category of connected CW-complexes, the author computes \(L_f X\) (\(L_f\) is an idempotent functor corresponding to the specific choice of \(f\)) for an important class of maps \(f\), i.e. inclusions \(Z^{(n)}\to Z\) of nilpotent \(n\)-skeletons \(Z^{(n)}\) into nilpotent spaces \(Z\) for which the cofibre is a wedge of spheres. In the case of \(P\)-localization, the author shows that a \(P\)-local space \(X\) is \(f\)-local iff it is \(f_P\)-local (\(f\)-localization can be done inside the \(P\)-category). In the category of simple connected rational spaces he obtains the same result as the integral one, except that the condition on the cofibre is lifted, i.e. the inclusions \(Z^{(n)}\to Z\) are arbitrary.
