Abstract

We prove that the loop space of a quasitoric manifold is homotopy commutative if and only if the underlying polytope is a product of 3-simplices (Δ3)n and the characteristic matrix is equivalent to a matrix of certain type. Quasitoric manifolds over (Δ3)n include generalized Bott manifolds, and we also construct an infinite family of homotopy nonequivalent generalized Bott manifolds over (Δ3)n, only half of them have homotopy commutative loop spaces. In particular, for each n 2, there are infinitely many homotopy types of 6n-dimensional quasitoric manifolds having homotopy (non)commutative loop spaces.
