Abstract:
Gray showed that the homotopy fiber of the double suspension has an integral classifying space , which fits in a homotopy fibration . In addition, after localizing at an odd prime , is an -space and if , then is homotopy associative and homotopy commutative, and is an -map. We positively resolve a conjecture of Gray's that the same multiplicative properties hold for as well. We go on to give some exponent consequences.
