Abstract: In the paper we will introduce show that the $p^3$ power map on $SU(p+t-1)$ is an H-map for $2leqtleqp-1$. To do this we will consider a fibration whose base space is $SU(p+t-1)$ with the property that there is a section into the total space. We will then use decomposition methods to identify the fibre and the map from it to the total space. This information will be used to deduce information about $SU(p+t-1)$. In doing this we draw together recent work of Kishimoto and Theriault with more classical work of Cohen and Neisendorfer, and make use of the classical theorems of Hilton and Milnor, James and Barrett.

Review text

Recall that in the 1970s McGibbon, Arkowitz and others considered the following problem: Let \(X\) be a connected homotopy associative \(H\)-space which is homotopy equivalent to a finite CW complex. Then, when is the \(k\) power map \(x\mapsto x^k\) an \(H\)-map? From now on, we assume that \(p\geq 5\) is an odd prime and all spaces are localized at \(p\). In this situation, the author considers this problem when \(X\) is a special linear unitary group \(SU(n)\) and it is \(p\)-regular. In particular, in this paper he proves that the \(p^3\) power map on \(SU(p+t-1)\) is an \(H\)-map for \(2\leq t<p\). To prove this result he considers the fibration whose base space is \(SU(p+t-1)\) with the property that there is a section into the total space, and he uses the homotopy decomposition methods to identify the fibre and the maps from it to the total space. In doing so, he also makes use of the recent result of Kishimoto-Theriault together with more classical theorems of Cohen-Neisendorfer, Hilton-Milnow and James.
