We consider the forgetful map from the group of equivariant self equivalences to the group of non-equivariant self equivalences. A sufficient condition for this forgetful map being a monomorphism is obtained. Several examples are given.

In this paper, we apply the concept of the group \ulcorner(X,A) of self pair homotopy equivalences of a CW-pair (X, A) to the Postnikov system. By using a short exact sequence related to the group of self pair homotopy equivalences, we obtain the following result: for any Postnikov section X$\sub$n/ of a CW-complex X, the group \ulcorner(X$\sub$n/, A) of self pair homotopy equivalences on the pair (X$\sub$n/, X) is isomorphic to the group \ulcorner(X) of self homotopy equivalences on X. As a corollary, we have, \ulcorner(K($\pi$, n), M($\pi$, n)) ≡ \ulcorner(M($\pi$, n)) for each n$\pi$1, where K($\pi$,n) is an Eilenberg-Mclane space and M($\pi$,n) is a Moore space.

When G is an abelian group, we use the notation M(G, n) to denote the Moore space. The space X is the wedge product space of Moore spaces, given by X = M(ℤ_q, n+ 2) ∨ M(ℤ_q, n+ 1) ∨ M(ℤ_q, n). We determine the self-homotopy classes group [X, X] and the self-homotopy equivalence group 𝓔(X). We investigate the subgroups of [M_j , M_k] consisting of homotopy classes of maps that induce the trivial homomorphism up to (n + 2)-homotopy groups for j ≠ k. Using these results, we calculate the subgroup 𝓔^dim_#(X) of 𝓔(X) in which all elements induce the identity homomorphism up to (n + 2)-homotopy groups of X.

In this paper, we extend the concept of the group ${\varepsilon}(X)$ of self homotopy equivalences of a space X to that of an object in the category of pairs. Mainly, we study the group ${\varepsilon}(X,\;A)$ of pair homotopy equivalences from a CW-pair (X, A) to itself which is the special case of the extended concept. For a CW-pair (X, A), we find an exact sequence $1\;{\to}\;G\;{\to}\;{\varepsilon}(X,\;A)\;{to}\;{\varepsilon}(A)$ where G is a subgroup of ${\varepsilon}(X,\;A)$. Especially, for CW homotopy associative and inversive H-spaces X and Y, we obtain a split short exact sequence $1\;{\to}\;{\varepsilon}(X)\;{\to}\;{\varepsilon}(X{\times}Y,Y)\;{\to}\;{\varepsilon}(Y)\;{\to}\;1$ provided the two sets $[X{\wedge}Y,\;X{\times}Y]$ and [X, Y] are trivial.

Given a topological space X and a non-negative integer k, ${\varepsilon}^{\sharp}_k(X)$ is the set of all self-homotopy equivalences of X that do not change maps from X to an t-sphere $S^t$ homotopically by the composition for all $t{\geq}k$. This set is a subgroup of the self-homotopy equivalence group ${\varepsilon}(X)$. We find certain homotopic tools for computations of ${\varepsilon}^{\sharp}_k(X)$. Using these results, we determine ${\varepsilon}^{\sharp}_k(M(G,n))$ for $k{\geq}n$, where M(G, n) is a Moore space type of (G, n) for a finitely generated abelian group G.

Given a topological space X and a non-negative integer k, we study the self-homotopy equivalences of X that do not change maps from X to n-sphere $S^n$ homotopically by the composition for all $n{\geq}k$. We denote by ${\varepsilon}^{\sharp}_k(X)$ the set of all homotopy classes of such self-homotopy equivalences. This set is a dual concept of ${\varepsilon}^{\sharp}_k(X)$, which has been studied by several authors. We prove that if X is a finite CW complex, there are at most a finite number of distinguishing homotopy classes ${\varepsilon}^{\sharp}_k(X)$, whereas ${\varepsilon}^{\sharp}_k(X)$ may not be finite. Moreover, we obtain concrete computations of ${\varepsilon}^{\sharp}_k(X)$ to show that the cardinal of ${\varepsilon}^{\sharp}_k(X)$ is finite when X is either a Moore space or co-Moore space by using the self-closeness numbers.

In this paper, we show that, under some conditions, self-maps of product spaces can be represented by the composition of two specific self-maps if their induced homomorphism on the i-th homotopy group is an automorphism for all i in some section of positive integers. As an application, we obtain closeness numbers of several product spaces.

We define the relative self-closeness number N��(g) of a map g : X → Y, which is a generalization of the self-closeness number N��(X) of a connected CW complex X defined by Choi and Lee [1]. Then we compare N��(p) with N��(X) for a fibration $X{\rightarrow}E{\rightarrow\limits^p}Y$. Furthermore we obtain its rationalized result.

Let $\pi : P \to S^4$ be a principal G-bundle over $S^4$ whose the structure group G is a compact, connected, simple Lie group. Since $\pi_3(G) = \pi_4 (BG) = Z$, we can classify the principal bundle $P_k$ over $S^4$ by the map $S^4 \to BG$ of degree k. Atiyah and Jones [2] showed that $C_k = A_k/g^b_k$ is homotopy equivalent to $\Omega^3_k G \simeq \Omega^4_k BG$ where $A_k$ is the space of the all connections in $P_k$ and $g^b_k$ is the based gauge group which consists of all base point preserving automorphisms on $P_k$. Here $\Omega^nX$ is the space of all base-point preserving continuous map from $S^n$ to X. Let $M_k$ be the space of based gauge equivalence classes of all connections in $P_k$ satisfying the Yang-Mills self-duality equations, which we call the moduli space of G instantons.
