Finiteness of $A_n$-equivalence types of gauge groups

Algebraic Topology 2014-02-11 v1

Abstract

Let BB be a finite CW complex and GG a compact connected Lie group. We show that the number of gauge groups of principal GG-bundles over BB is finite up to AnA_n-equivalence for n<n<\infty. As an example, we give a lower bound of the number of AnA_n-equivalence types of gauge groups of principal \SU(2)\SU(2)-bundles over S4S^4.
