Abstract:
Let $G$ be a finite group. We use the fact that each element of the Whitehead group Wh$(G)$ may be represented by at most a $2 \times 2$ (nonsingular) matrix to deduce results about when simple homotopy type and homotopy type agree. As examples, we give complete descriptions of the simple homotopy types for $({Z_m} \times {Z_n},2)$-complexes, provided $S{K_1}(Z({Z_m} \times {Z_n})) = 0$.References
