A rational obstruction to be a Gottlieb map

Algebraic Topology 2010-02-10 v1

Abstract

We investigate {\it Gottlieb map}s, which are maps f:EBf:E\to B that induce the maps between the Gottlieb groups πn(f)Gn(E):Gn(E)Gn(B)\pi_n (f)|_{G_n(E)}:G_n(E)\to G_n(B) for all nn, from a rational homotopy theory point of view.We will define the obstruction group O(f)O(f) to be a Gottlieb map and a numerical invariant o(f)o(f). It naturally deduces a relative splitting of EE in certain cases. We also illustrate several rational examples of Gottlieb maps and non-Gottlieb maps by using derivation arguments in Sullivan models.
