Abstract

Let aa and bb be two positive integers such that a,b<na, b < n. We denote the inclusion ΣCPaSU(n)\Sigma \mathbb{C}P^a\rightarrow SU(n) by εa,n\varepsilon_{a,n}. Also, let mm and nn be two positive integers such that m<nm < n. This article has two parts. In the first part, we will study the order of the Samelson product εa,n,εb,n\langle \varepsilon_{a,n}, \varepsilon_{b,n}\rangle where a+b=n+ka+b=n+k, for k0k \geq 0. Also, we will give two applications. In the second part, we will study the order of the Samelson product S4m1Qnm+1Sp(n)S^{4m-1}\wedge Q_{n-m+1}\rightarrow Sp(n), where Qnm+1Q_{n-m+1} is the symplectic quasi-projective space of rank nm+1n-m+1.
