The Bruschlinsky group of maps of a space X into S1 up to homotopy, using the multiplication on S1, is well-known to equal the first cohomology group of X (at least assuming X is a reasonably nice ...

Let $\theta$ be the generator of $\pi_{21}(Sp(3))\cong \mathbb{Z}_3$, (localized at 3). How to show the composition $$S^{24}\longrightarrow S^{21}\overset{\theta}\longrightarrow Sp(3)$$ is non-trivial ...

Suppose the Lie group $G$ contains the Lie group $J$ as a subgroup, so $$ G \supset J. $$ If $G$ has a nontrivial first homotopy group $\pi_1(G) \neq 0$. If $G$ has a universal cover $\widetilde{G}$, ...

Question: Is the element $\alpha$ in $\pi_{2n-1}(\operatorname{SO}(2n))$ representing the tangent bundle $TS^{2n}$ of the sphere $S^{2n}$ indivisible and not torsion? My understanding so far — An $\...

Let $G$ be a compact and connected and simply connected Lie group and $\mathfrak{g}$ be its Lie algebra and $x\in\mathfrak{g}^*$. How can we compute the fundamental group of $G/G_x$ where $G_x$ is ...
