Homotopy commutativity in quasitoric manifolds

Abstract

We prove that the loop space of a quasitoric manifold is homotopy commutative if and only if the underlying polytope is a product of 33-simplices (Δ3)n(\Delta^3)^n and the characteristic matrix is equivalent to a matrix of certain type. Quasitoric manifolds over (Δ3)n(\Delta^3)^n include generalized Bott manifolds, and we also construct an infinite family of homotopy nonequivalent generalized Bott manifolds over (Δ3)n(\Delta^3)^n, only half of them have homotopy commutative loop spaces. In particular, for each n2n\ge 2, there are infinitely many homotopy types in 6n6n-dimensional quasitoric manifolds having homotopy (non)commutative loop spaces.
