Decompositions of suspensions of spaces involving polyhedral products (Q276579)

This article deals with homotopy decompositions of the suspensions of certain spaces. Two families of spaces are studied. First, the authors give a homotopy decomposition of the suspension of the colimit of a functor from a graded lower semilattice to the category of pointed topological spaces under suitable assumptions. This homotopy decomposition generalizes the homotopy decomposition of a suspension of a polyhedral product given in [\textit{A. Bahri et al.}, Adv. Math. 225, No. 3, 1634--1668 (2010; Zbl 1197.13021)]. In particular, it generalizes the classical homotopy decomposition of the suspension of a product of spaces. Then the authors give a homotopy decomposition for the suspensions of diagonal arrangements (which include the braid arrangement as a particular case). This generalizes a result of [\textit{F. Labassi}, J. Homotopy Relat. Struct. 10, No. 3, 375--400 (2015; Zbl 1329.55020)].
