Abstract

Given a closed, smooth, connected, orientable 44-manifold MM, whose integral homology groups can have 22-torsion, we determine the homotopy decomposition of the double suspension Σ2M\Sigma^2M as wedge sums of some elementary A33\mathbf{A}_3^3-complexes, which are 22-connected finite complexes of dimension at most 66. Furthermore, we utilize the Postnikov square (or equivalently Pontryagin square) to find sufficient conditions for the homotopy decompositions of Σ2M\Sigma^2M to desuspend to that of ΣM\Sigma M.
