Rational Classification of Simple Function Space Components for Flag Manifolds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
LetM(X, Y) denote the space of all continuous functions between X and Y and Mƒ(X, Y) the path component corresponding to a given map ƒ : X → Y. When X and Y are classical flag manifolds, we prove the components of M(X, Y) corresponding to “simple” maps ƒ are classified up to rational homotopy type by the dimension of the kernel of ƒ in degree two cohomology. In fact, these components are themselves all products of flag manifolds and odd spheres.
