Indecomposable homotopy types with at most two non-trivial homology groups (Q2734857)

Let \(p\) be a prime, \(m,n\) be integers with \(2\leq m<n<2m-2\), and let \(A\), \(B\) be \(\mathbb Z_{(p)}\)-modules. The authors consider the \(p\)-local homotopy type of a simply connected space \(X\) with at most two non-trivial homology groups \(H_m(X)=A\) and \(H_n(X)=B\). In this case, it is known that it is a mapping cone of a map \(k_X:M(B,n-1)\to M(A,m)\), where \(M(C,k)\) denotes the Moore space with homology \(C\) in degree \(k\). Moreover, \(X\) admits a decomposition \(X\simeq X_1\times \cdots \times X_j\) (up to homotopy), where all \(X_k\) are indecomposable. In this paper, the authors classify the indecomposable summands \(\{X_i\}\) in several situations. As an application, they also solve an old question of homotopy theory concerning the homotopy type classification problem for \((m-1)\)-connected \((m+k)\)-dimensional finite CW complexes when \(m\geq k+1\).NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0960.00050].
