We introduce a new approach to phantom maps which largely
extends the rational-ization-completion approach developed by
Meier and Zabrodsky. Our approach enables us to deal with the set
of homotopy classes of phantom maps and the subset
of
homotopy classes of special phantom maps simultaneously. We give a sufficient condition
for
and
to have natural group structures, which is much weaker than the
conditions obtained by Meier and McGibbon. Previous calculations of
have generally
assumed that
is trivial, in which case generalizations of Miller’s theorem are directly applicable, and
calculations of
have rarely been reported. Here, we calculate not only
but also
in many important
cases of nontrivial
.
