Quaternionic Projective Space - Infinite-dimensional Quaternionic Projective Space

Infinite-dimensional Quaternionic Projective Space

The space is the classifying space BS3. The homotopy groups of are given by . These groups are known to be very complex and in particular they are non-zero for infinitely many values of . However, we do have that if and if . It follows that rationally, i.e. after localisation of a space, is an Eilenberg–Maclane space . That is . (cf. the example K(Z,2)). See rational homotopy theory.

Famous quotes containing the word space:

    I take SPACE to be the central fact to man born in America.... I spell it large because it comes large here. Large and without mercy.
    Charles Olson (1910–1970)
