| Oct 2, 2013 at 13:55 | comment | added | Danny Ruberman | I don't think you need a crusade for this; the question is simply ambiguous, and the OP should state more clearly what is being asked for: some homotopy groups of these spaces, a homotopy classification of these spaces, or perhaps something entirely different. | |
| Oct 2, 2013 at 9:53 | comment | added | Fernando Muro | I'm pursuing a crusade so that people do not confuse being homotopic, which is a relation among maps, with being homotopy equivalent, a relation for spaces | |

| Oct 1, 2013 at 21:48 | comment | added | j.c. | Witten computes $\pi_4(SU(3))$ and $\pi_5(SU(3))$ in his paper so I suspect that the OP wishes to know how to calculate the homotopy groups of group coset spaces. | |

| Oct 1, 2013 at 21:04 | comment | added | Fernando Muro | I think this question is not complete enough. In particular, it is not stated what homotopy classes of maps you want to compute. | |
