Whitehead products in moment-angle complexes

Abstract

In toric topology, to a simplicial complex KK with mm vertices, one associates two spaces, the moment-angle complex ZK\mathcal{Z}_K and the Davis-Januszkiewicz space DJKDJ_K. These spaces are connected by a homotopy fibration ZKDJK(CP)m\mathcal{Z}_K\to DJ_K\to(\mathbb{C}P^\infty)^m. In this paper, we show that the map ZKDJK\mathcal{Z}_K\to DJ_K is identified with a wedge of iterated (higher) Whitehead products for a certain class of simplicial complexes KK including dual shellable complexes. We will prove the result in a more general setting of polyhedral products.
