We study the Hurewicz map h * : π * (X) → R * (Ω ∞ X)where Ω ∞ X is the 0th space of a spectrum X, and R * is the generalized homology theory associated to a connective commutative S-algebra R.We prove that the decreasing filtration of the domain associated to an R-based Adams resolution is compatible with a filtration of the range associated to the augmentation ideal filtration of the augmented commutative S-algebra Σ ∞ (Ω ∞ X)+. The proof of our main theorem makes much use of composition properties of this filtration and its interaction with Topological André-Quillen homology.An application is a Connectivity Theorem: Localize away from (p−1)! and suppose X is (c − 1)-connected with c > 0. If α ∈ π * (X) has Adams filtration s and |α| < cp s , then h * (α) = 0 ∈ R * (Ω ∞ X). When specialized to mod p homology, this implies a Finiteness Theorem: if H * (X; Z/p) is finitely presented as a module over the Steenrod algebra, then the image of the Hurewicz map in H * (Ω ∞ X; Z/p) is finite. We illustrate these theorems with calculations of the mod 2 Hurewicz image of BO, its connected covers, and Ω ∞ tmf , and the mod p Hurewicz image of all the spaces in the BP and BP n spectra. En route, we get new proofs of theorems of Milnor and Wilson.In the special case when X is the suspension spectrum of a space Z and R = HZ/2, we recover results announced by Lannes and Zarati in the 1980s, relating the Adams filtration of π S * (Z) to Dyer-Lashof length in H * (QZ; Z/2), and generalize them to all primes p. For any X, we also get parallel results for the Hurewicz map for Morava E-theory, where π * (X) is now given the Adams-Novikov filtration.
