چکیده
The semigroup of the homotopy classes of the self-homotopy maps of a finite complex which induce the trivial homomorphism on homotopy groups is nilpotent. We determine the nilpotency of these semigroups of compact Lie groups and finite Hopf spaces of rank 2. We also study the nilpotency of semigroups for Lie groups of higher rank. Especially, we give Lie groups with the nilpotency of the semigroups arbitrarily large.

The Group of Self Homotopy Equivalences of Some Localized Aspherical Complexes
By studying the group of self homotopy equivalences of the localization (at a prime p and/or zero) of some aspherical complexes, we show that, contrary to the case when the considered space is a nilpotent complex, E # (Xp) is in general different from E # (X)p . That is the case even when X = K(G, 1) is a finite complex and/or G satisfies extra finiteness or nilpotency conditions, for instance,...
متن کاملNilpotency in the Homotopy of Simplicial Commutative Algebras
In this paper, we continue a study of simplicial commutative algebras with finite André-Quillen homology, that was begun in [19]. Here we restrict our focus to simplicial algebras having characteristic 2. Our aim is to find a generalization of the main theorem in [19]. In particular, we replace the finiteness condition on homotopy with a weaker condition expressed in terms of nilpotency for the...
متن کاملA Torus Theorem for Homotopy Nilpotent Groups
Nilpotency for discrete groups can be defined in terms of central extensions. In this paper, the analogous definition for spaces is stated in terms of principal fibrations having infinite loop spaces as fibers, yielding a new invariant we compare with classical cocategory, but also with the more recent notion of homotopy nilpotency introduced by Biedermann and Dwyer. This allows us to character...
متن کاملCohomological Uniqueness, Massey Products and the Modular Isomorphism Problem for 2-groups of Maximal Nilpotency Class
Let G be a finite 2-group of maximal nilpotency class, and let BG be its classifying space. We prove that iterated Massey products inH∗(BG;F2) do characterize the homotopy type of BG among 2-complete spaces with the same cohomological structure. As a consequence we get an alternative proof of the modular isomorphism problem for 2-groups of maximal nilpotency class.
متن کاملOn the Exponent of Triple Tensor Product of p-Groups
The non-abelian tensor product of groups which has its origins in algebraic K-theory as well as inhomotopy theory, was introduced by Brown and Loday in 1987. Group theoretical aspects of non-abelian tensor products have been studied extensively. In particular, some studies focused on the relationship between the exponent of a group and exponent of its tensor square. On the other hand, com...
