Abstract

Let Gn,kG_{n,k} denote the complex Grassmann manifold of kk-dimensional vector subspaces of Cn\mathbb{C}^n. Assume l,kn/2l,k\le \lfloor n/2\rfloor. We show that, for sufficiently large nn, any continuous map h:Gn,lGn,kh:G_{n,l}\to G_{n,k} is rationally null homotopic if (i) 1k<l,(i)~ 1\le k< l, (ii) 2<l<k<2(l1)(ii)~2<l<k< 2(l-1), (iii) 1<l<k(iii)~1<l<k, ll divides nn but ll does not divide kk.
