Abstract: We provide a general definition of Toda brackets in a pointed model categories, show how they serve as obstructions to rectification, and explain their relation to the classical stable operations.

Review text

Toda brackets, defined by \textit{H. Toda} [J. Inst. Polytechn., Osaka City Univ., Ser. A 3, 43--82 (1952; Zbl 0049.12903)], play an important role in homotopy theory both for their original purpose of calculating homotopy groups, and because they serve as differentials in spectral sequences. The notion has been generalized in several ways, e.g., in [\textit{H.-J. Baues} et al., J. Homotopy Relat. Struct. 11, No. 4, 643--677 (2016; Zbl 1360.18026)] and [\textit{G. Walker}, in: Proc. adv. Study Inst. algebraic Topol.various Publ. Ser. 13, 612--631 (1970; Zbl 0224.55023)]. The authors provide a definition of higher Toda brackets in a general pointed model category \(\mathcal{C}\), show how these appear as the successive obstructions to strictifying certain diagrams (namely, chain complexes in the homotopy category \(\mathrm{ho}\,\mathcal{C}\)), explain the connection with the traditional stable description in terms of filtered complexes and provide two examples of settings in which higher Toda brackets occur.
