Abstract: For a simply connected CW-complex $X$, let $mathcalE(X)$ denote the group of homotopy classes of self-homotopy equivalence of $X$ and let $mathcal{E}_{sharp}(X)$ be its subgroup of homotopy classes which induce the identity on homotopy groups. As we know, the quotient group $fracmathcalE(X)mathcal{E}_{sharp}(X)$ can be identified with a subgroup of $Aut(p{i}_{\ast }(X))$. The aim of this work is to determine this subgroup for rational spaces. We construct the Whitehead exact sequence associated with the minimal Sullivan model of $X$ which allows us to define the subgroup $$ of self-coherent automorphisms of the graded vector space $mathrmHom(p{i}_{\ast }(X),BbbQ)$. As a consequence we establish that $mathcalE(X)/mathcal{E}_{sharp}(X)congmathrmCoh.Aut(mathrmHom(p{i}_{\ast }(X),BbbQ))$. In addition, by computing the group $$, we give examples of rational spaces that have few self-homotopy equivalences.
