Then we have the canonical inclusion Z(p)→ zp. Let S2n-1(p) be the p-local (2n- 1)-sphere and let B2n(p) be a connected p-local space satisfying S2n-l(p)≌ΩB2n(p), then H*B2n(p),Z(p)) = Z(p)[U] with |u| = 2n. Define the degree of a self-map f of B2n(p) to be k E Z(p) such that f*(u) = ku. Using the theory of integer-valued polynomials we show that there exists a self-map of B2n(p) of degree k if and only if k is an n-th power in Zp.展开更多
