Some cohomotopy groups of suspended quaternionic projective planes (Q2828690)

For based topological spaces \(X\) and \(Y\), let \([X,Y]\) denote the set of all based homotopy classes of based maps from \(X\) to \(Y\), and let \(\mathbb{H}\mathrm{P}^2\) be the quaternionic projective plane. In this paper the authors compute the cohomotopy groups \([\Sigma^{n+k} \mathbb{H}\mathrm{P}^2,S^n]\) for \(k\in \{4,5\}\) and an integer \(n\geq 0\), where \(\Sigma^mX\) denotes the \(m\)-fold suspension of a space \(X\). They determine these cohomotopy groups by using composition methods and the cofiber sequence \(S^7\buildrel{\nu_4}\over{\rightarrow}S^4\to \mathbb{H}\mathrm{P}^2\) with the analysis of Toda brackets.
