Abstract

In this paper, we calculate the n+3n+3, n+4n+4 dimensional homotopy groups of indecomposable An2\mathbf{A}_n^2-complexes after localization at 2. This job is seen as a sequel to P.J. Hilton's work on the n+1,n+2n+1,n+2 dimensional homotopy groups of An2\mathbf{A}_n^2-complexes (1950-1951). The main technique used is analysing the homotopy property of J(X,A)J(X,A), defined by B. Gray for a CW-pair (X,A)(X,A), which is homotopy equivalent to the homotopy fibre of the pinch map XCAΣAX\cup CA\rightarrow \Sigma A. By the way, the results of these homotopy groups have been used to make progress on recent popular topic about the homotopy decomposition of the (multiple) suspension of oriented closed manifolds.
