Consider a CW complex of the form X cup_{alpha}e^{k+1} and a space Y whose connectivity exceeds the dimension of the adjunction space. Using a Quillen-Sullivan mixed type model for a based mapping space, we prove that, if the bracket length of the attaching map alpha: S^k --> X is greater than the Whitehead length WL(Y) of Y, then F_*(X cup_{alpha}e^{k+1}, Y) has the rational homotopy type of the product space F_*(X, Y) times Omega^{k+1}Y. This result yields that if the bracket lengths of all the attaching maps constructing a finite CW complex X are greater than WL(Y) and the connectivity of Y is greater than or equal to dim X, then the mapping space F_*(X, Y) can be decomposed rationally as the product of iterated loop spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-02-27T17:29:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55P62", "54C35" ], "keywords": [ "mapping space", "rational splitting", "bracket length", "connected finite cw complex", "quillen-sullivan mixed type model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0902.4876K" } } }
