Abstract: We study the asymptotic behavior of the homotopy groups of simply connected finite p-local complexes, and define a space to be locally hyperbolic if its homotopy groups have exponential growth. Under some certain conditions related to the functorial decomposition of loop suspension, we prove that the suspended finite complexes are locally hyperbolic if suitable but accessible information of the homotopy groups is known. In particular, we prove that Moore spaces are locally hyperbolic, and other candidates are also given.


In this article, the authors prove that if \(r\in\mathbb{N}\) and \(X\) is a path-connected finite CW-complex localized at a prime number \(p\) satisfying that there exist arithmetic sequences \((a_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\) and \((b_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\) such that, for all \(n\in\mathbb{N}\), \(\pi_{a_n}(\Sigma^{b_n}X)\) contains a \(\mathbb{Z}/\langle p^r \rangle\) summand, and some other assumptions hold, then the number of \(\mathbb{Z}/\langle p^r \rangle\) summands in \(\pi_n(\Sigma X)\) has exponential growth (with respect to \(n\)). This result is obtained by means of a homotopy decomposition technique that relies on a result of \textit{P. Selick} and \textit{J. Wu} [Math. Z. 253, No. 3, 435--451 (2006; Zbl 1107.55005)]. The authors also devote a considerable part of the article to study these issues in Moore spaces.
