Loop homotopy of $6$–manifolds over $4$–manifolds

Ruizhi Huang

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 23 (2023) 2369–2388
Abstract

Let M be the 6–manifold M arising as the total space of the sphere bundle of a rank 3 vector bundle over a simply connected closed 4–manifold. We show that, after looping, M is homotopy equivalent to a product of loops on spheres in general. This particularly implies a cohomological rigidity property of M after looping. Furthermore, passing to rational homotopy we show that such an M is Koszul.
