Abstract

We investigate the exponents of the total Cohen groups [Ω(Sr+1),Ω(Y)][\Omega(\mathbb S^{r+1}), \Omega(Y)] for any r1r\ge 1. In particular, we show that for p3p\ge 3, the pp-primary exponents of [Ω(Sr+1),Ω(S2n+1)][\Omega(\mathbb S^{r+1}), \Omega(\mathbb S^{2n+1})] and [Ω(Sr+1),Ω(S2n)][\Omega(\mathbb S^{r+1}), \Omega(\mathbb S^{2n})] coincide with the pp-primary homotopy exponents of spheres S2n+1\mathbb S^{2n+1} and S2n\mathbb S^{2n}, respectively. We further study the exponent problem when YY is a space with the homotopy type of Σ(n)/G\Sigma(n)/G for a homotopy nn-sphere Σ(n)\Sigma(n), the complex projective space CPn\mathbb{C}P^n for n1n\ge 1 or the quaternionic projective space HPn\mathbb{H}P^n for 1n1\le n\le \infty.
