Abstract: Let $M$ be a closed, oriented, simply connected 6-manifold. After localization away from 2, we give a homotopy decomposition of $SigmaM$ in terms of spheres, Moore spaces and other recognizable spaces. As applications we calculate generalized cohomology groups of $M$ and determine the homotopy types of gauge groups of certain bundles over $M$.

Review text

Let \(M\) be a closed, simply connected topological \(6\)-manifold. In this paper, the authors study the homotopy decomposition of the suspension of \(M\). They also give two applications. The first one is the calculation of generalized cohomology groups of \(M\). The second one is to determine the homotopy type of the gauge group of the trivial principal \(G\)-bundle over \(M\) for any connected Lie group \(G\). They also compute the homotopy types of gauge groups of \(SU(n)\)-bundles over \(M\) which have vanishing second Chern class but are no necessary trivial. All of their results are considered after localization away from \(2\).
