Coglueing Homotopy Equivalences

in which the front square is a pull-back. Then P is often called the fibre-product o f f and p, and it is also said that ~: P ~ X is induced by f from p. The map ~: Q~ P is determined by ~01 and q)2. Our object is to give conditions on the front and back squares which ensure that if q~l, q~2 and ~o are homotopy equivalences, then so also is ~. First of all we shall assume throughout that the ba...

On stable homotopy equivalences

A fundamental construction in the study of stable homotopy is the free infinite loop space generated by a space X. This is the colimit QX = lim −→ ΩΣX. The i homotopy group of QX is canonically isomorphic to the i stable homotopy group of X. Thus, one may obtain stable information about X by obtaining topological results about QX. One such result is the Kahn-Priddy theorem [7]. In another direc...

Reducibility of Self-homotopy Equivalences

We describe a new general method for the computation of the group Aut(X) of self-homotopy equivalences of a space. It is based on the decomposition of Aut(X) induced by a factorization of X into a product of simpler spaces. Normally, such decompositions require assumptions (’induced equivalence property’, ’diagonalizability’), which are strongly restrictive and hard to check. In this paper we d...
