Abstract

We construct $p$ –local decompositions of certain gauge groups when $p$ is an odd prime. Specifically, we decompose $SU (n)$ , $Sp (n)$ and $Spin (n)$ –gauge groups over simply connected $4$ –manifolds and $U (n)$ –gauge groups over compact, orientable Riemann surfaces, given certain restrictions on $n$ that depend on $p$ .
