Abstract: It is known algebraically that any abelian group is a direct sum of a divisible group and a reduced group (See Theorem 21.3 of cite{Fuchs:abelian-group}). In this paper, conditions to split off rational parts in homotopy types from a given space are studied in terms of a variant of Hurewicz map, say $$ and generalized Gottlieb groups. This yields decomposition theorems on rational homotopy types of Hopf spaces, $T$-spaces and Gottlieb spaces, which has been known in various situations, especially for spaces with finiteness conditions.

Review text

For any connected space \(X\) and rational subspace \(V\) of \(H_n(X)\) which is in the Hurewicz image of the Gottlieb space \(G({\mathbf S}^n_{\mathbf Q},X) \subseteq [{\mathbf S}^n_{{\mathbf Q}},X]\), the authors obtain a splitting \(X \simeq Y \times K(V,n)\). The Gottlieb space \(G(X,Y)\) is defined as the subset of those homotopy classes \(\alpha\colon X \to Y\) such that the map \(\text{id} + \alpha\colon X \vee Y \to Y\) factors through \(X \times Y\). The proof is fairly elementary and self-contained. Applications to \(T\)-spaces (spaces whose free loop fibration is trivial) and \(G\)-spaces (spaces for which \(G({\mathbf S}^n,X) = \pi_n(X)\)) are mentioned. While the main part is very readable, the introduction does not succeed well in introducing the problem. The large number of typographical and grammatical mistakes reflects poorly on the publisher.
