<i>SU</i>(2)-bundles over highly connected 8-manifolds

In this paper, we analyse the possible homotopy types of the total space of a principal SU (2)-bundle over a 3-connected 8-dimensional Poincaré duality complex. Along the way, we also classify the 3-connected 11-dimensional complexes E formed from a wedge of S 4 ’s and S 7 ’s by attaching a 11-cell.

Abstract

In this paper, we analyse the possible homotopy types of the total space of a principal SU (2)-bundle over a 3-connected 8-dimensional Poincaré duality complex. Along the way, we also classify the 3-connected 11-dimensional complexes E formed from a wedge of S 4 ’s and S 7 ’s by attaching a 11-cell.
