Mapping spaces from projective spaces
Abstract
We denote the -th projective space of a topological monoid by and the classifying space by . Let be a well-pointed topological monoid of the homotopy type of a CW complex and a well-pointed grouplike topological monoid. We prove the weak equivalence between the pointed mapping space and the space of all -maps from to . This fact has several applications. As the first application, we show that the connecting map of the evaluation fiber sequence is delooped. As other applications, we consider higher homotopy commutativity, -types of gauge groups, -spaces by Iwase--Mimura--Oda--Yoon and homotopy pullback of -maps. In particular, we show that the -space and the -space are exactly the same concept and give some new examples of -spaces.
