Mod p decompositions of the loop spaces of compact symmetric spaces

Algebraic Topology 2016-01-20 v1

Abstract

We give p-local homotopy decompositions of the loop spaces of compact, simply-connected symmetric spaces for quasi-regular primes. The factors are spheres, sphere bundles over spheres, and their loop spaces. As an application, upper bounds for the homotopy exponents are determined.
