Abstract

Let Gk,n\mathcal{G}_{k,n} be the gauge group of the principal Sp(n)\mathrm{Sp}(n)-bundle over S4S^4 corresponding to kZπ3(Sp(n))k\in\mathbb{Z}\cong\pi_3(\mathrm{Sp}(n)). We refine the result of Sutherland on the homotopy types of Gk,n\mathcal{G}_{k,n} and relate it with the order of a certain Samelson product in Sp(n)\mathrm{Sp}(n). Then we classify the pp-local homotopy types of Gk,n\mathcal{G}_{k,n} for (p1)2+12n(p-1)^2+1\ge 2n.
