How to quantify the complexity of fibrations of topological spaces
To quantify something means to compare it with something else which is presumed to be more fundamental. In my talk I will compare taking extensions by fibrations to the operations of homotopy push-out. I will reformulate the nilpotence theorem of Devinats-Hopkins-Smith in these terms. The aim is to give an overview of what is known and what is not about Dror Farjoun's cellularity of topological spaces.
