On the size of the third homotopy group of the suspension of an Eilenberg--MacLane space

Abstract: The nonabelian tensor square G ⊗ G of a group G of |G| = p n and |G ′ | = p m ( p prime and n, m ≥ 1 ) satisfies a classic bound of the form |G ⊗ G| ≤ p n (n−m) . This allows us to give an upper bound for the order of the third homotopy group π3(SK(G, 1)) of the suspension of an Eilenberg-MacLane space K(G, 1) , because π3(K(G, 1)) is isomorphic to the kernel of κ : −m) but also supporting a recent result of Jafari on the topic. Consequently, we discuss restrictions on the size of π3(SK(G, 1)) based on this … Show more

“…Many authors have studied bounds on the order of π 3 (SK (G, 1)) (cf. [1,6,7,17]). We deduce a finiteness criterion for π 3 (S X) in terms of π 2 (X ) and the number of tensors T ⊗ (G), where π 1 (X ) ∼ = G and S X is the suspension of the space X (see Remark 2.4).…”

“…Many authors had studied bounds to the order of π 3 (SK(G, 1)) (cf. [1,6,7,17]). Now, we can deduce a finiteness criterion for π 3 (SX) in terms of π 2 (X) and the number of tensors T ⊗ (G), where π 1 (X) ∼ = G and SX is the suspension of a space X (see Remark 2.4, below).…”
