Let \(\Gamma\) be a co-grouplike space, i.e., an associative co-Hopf algebra with an inverse. For a topological space \(X\), \(\Gamma X\) denotes the smash product \(\Gamma \wedge X\). Let \([A, Z]\) be the set of base point preserving homotopy classes of base point preserving maps from \(A\) to \(Z\). All pointed spaces under consideration are assumed to be compactly generated and Hausdorff. Let \(\theta :[\Gamma X\wedge W, Z]\to [\Gamma X, Z^W]\) be the adjoint isomorphism for a fixed space \(W\). In the reviewing paper the generalized Hardie-Jansen product is defined as a pairing \[ [\Gamma X\wedge W, Z]\times [\Gamma Y\wedge W, Z]\to [\Gamma (X\wedge Y)\wedge W, Z], \] where \([\alpha, \beta]^W_\Gamma\) =\(\theta^{-1}\bigl([\theta(\alpha), \theta(\beta)]_\Gamma\bigr)\in [\Gamma (X\wedge Y)\wedge W, Z]\). Here \([\cdot, \cdot]_\Gamma\) stands for the \(\Gamma\)-Whitehead product, as defined by the first named author [Math. J. Okayama Univ. 39, 113-133 (1997; Zbl 0931.55010)]. Some fundamental results on this product are obtained. Furthermore, the generalized Hardie-Jansen product is characterized by means of the \(\Gamma W\)-Whitehead product. Also, the corresponding dual results are considered. All results are endowed with detailed proofs.
