Review text

Principal \(SU(3)\) bundles over \(S^{6\text{ }}\)are classified by an integer \(k\). \ The gauge group of the principal bundle is the group of \(SU(3)\) equivariant self maps covering the identity. \ This paper shows that two such principal bundles associated to \(k\) and \(k^{\prime }\) have gauge groups of the same homotopy type if and only if \(\text{gcd}(120,k)=\text{gcd}(120,k^{\prime }).\)
