Abstract:
In proving that the fiber of the double suspension has a classifying space, Gray constructed fibrations
and He conjectured that is homotopic to the -power map on when is an odd prime. Harper proved this is true when looped once. We remove the loop when . Gray also conjectured that at odd primes factors through a map We show that this is true as well when .
