ADJUNCTION OF mod P EQUIVALENCES IN HOMOTOPY THEORY

Abstract

We formalize the adjunction of maps of localized nilpotent spaces of the homotopy type of CW-complexes. Using the semilocalization theory of M. Bendersky, in which only the higher homotopy groups are localized, we obtain an adjunction theorem with fewer nilpotency conditions on the spaces. The two main theorems are in the form of a theorem on maps of triads by J. P. May.
