Abstract. The group consisting of the based homotopy classes of self-homotopy equivalences is called the self-equivalence group. We determine the group structures of self-equivalence groups, for the suspended real projective space whose dimension is less than or equal to six. The method is to study the multiplicative structure of self-homotopy set induced from the composition of maps. Finding out the invertible element of this monoid give almost all structures of self-equivalence groups. The group of the 1-fold suspension of the four-dimensional real projective space which is not determined similarly is obtained by the another method thought of from Rutter's paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
