A NOTE ON THE NILPOTENCY OF SUBGROUPS OF SELF-HOMOTOPY EQUIVALENCES
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 1997
Abstract
Let X be a space that has the homotopy type of a finite simply connected CW complex. We denote by [Escr ](X) the group of homotopy classes of self-homotopy equivalences of X. This group has been extensively studied (see [1] for a survey). In this paper we consider the subgroup [Escr ]n#(X) consisting of homotopy classes of self-homotopy equivalences of X that induce the identity on the homotopy groups πi(X) for i[les ]n, and the subgroup [Escr ]#(X) consisting of homotopy classes of self-homotopy equivalences of X that induce the identity on all the homotopy groups. Our first result is as follows.
