Higher homotopy commutativity of -spaces and the permuto-associahedra

In this paper, we give a combinatorial definition of a higher homotopy commutativity of the multiplication for an A n A_n -space. To give the definition, we use polyhedra called the permuto-associahedra which are constructed by Kapranov. We also show that if a connected A p A_p -space has the finite...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we give a combinatorial definition of a higher homotopy commutativity of the multiplication for an A n A_n -space. To give the definition, we use polyhedra called the permuto-associahedra which are constructed by Kapranov. We also show that if a connected A p A_p -space has the finitely generated mod p p cohomology for a prime p p and the multiplication of it is homotopy commutative of the p p -th order, then it has the mod p p homotopy type of a finite product of Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces K ( Z , 1 ) K(\mathbb {Z},1) s, K ( Z , 2 ) K(\mathbb {Z},2) s and K ( Z / p i , 1 ) K(\mathbb {Z}/p^i,1) s for i ≥ 1 i\ge 1 .
