Homotopy commutativity in Hermitian symmetric spaces

Algebraic Topology 2022-02-01 v1

Abstract

Ganea proved that the loop space of CPn\mathbb{C}P^n is homotopy commutative if and only if n=3n=3. We generalize this result to that the loop spaces of all irreducible Hermitian symmetric spaces but CP3\mathbb{C}P^3 are not homotopy commutative. The computation also applies to determining the homotopy nilpotency of the loop spaces of flag manifolds.
