Abstract: Let $ [\varphi _{i_{k}},[\varphi _{i_{k-1}},\cdots,[\varphi _{i_{1}}, \varphi _{i_{2}}],\cdots ]]$ be an iterated commutator of self-maps $ \varphi _{i_{j}}$ on the suspension of the infinite complex projective space. In this paper, we produce useful self-maps of the form $ I + [\varphi _{i_{k}},[\varphi _{i_{k-1}},\cdots, [\varphi _{i_{1}}, \varphi _{i_{2}}],\cdots ]]$, where $ +$ means the addition of maps on the suspension structure of $ \Sigma {\mathbb{C}}P^{\infty}$. We then give the answer to the conjecture saying that the set of all the same homotopy $ n$-types of the suspension of the infinite complex projective space is the one element set consisting of a single homotopy type.
