On the group structure of [ S^2, Y]

Abstract: Let

J (X)

denote the James construction on a space

X

and

J_{n} (X)

be the

n

-th stage of the James filtration of

J (X)

. It is known that

[J (X), O m e g a Y] c o n g l i m l i m i t s_{l e f t a r r o w} [J_{n} (X), O m e g a Y]

for any space

Y

. When

X = m a t h b b S^{1}

, the circle,

J (m a t h b b S^{1}) = O m e g a S i g m a m a t h b b S^{1} = O m e g a m a t h b b S^{2}

. Furthermore, there is a bijection between

[J (m a t h b b S^{1}), O m e g a Y]

and the product

p r o d_{i = 2}^{i} n f t y p i_{i} (Y)

, as sets. In this paper, we describe the group structure of

[J_{n} (m a t h b b S^{1}), O m e g a Y]

by determining the co-multiplication structure on the suspension

S i g m a J_{n} (m a t h b b S^{1})

.
