Abstract

Let J(X)J(X) denote the James construction on a space XX and Jn(X)J_n(X) be the nn-th stage of the James filtration of J(X)J(X). It is known that [J(X),ΩY]lim[Jn(X),ΩY][J(X),\Omega Y]\cong \lim\limits_{\leftarrow} [J_n(X),\Omega Y] for any space YY. When X=S1X=\mathbb S^1, the circle, J(S1)=ΩΣS1=ΩS2J(\mathbb S^1)=\Omega \Sigma \mathbb S^1=\Omega \mathbb S^2. Furthermore, there is a bijection between [J(S1),ΩY][J(\mathbb S^1),\Omega Y] and the product i=2πi(Y)\prod_{i=2}^\infty \pi_i(Y), as sets. In this paper, we describe the group structure of [Jn(S1),ΩY][J_n(\mathbb S^1),\Omega Y] by determining the co-multiplication structure on the suspension ΣJn(S1)\Sigma J_n(\mathbb S^1).
