Abstract

This paper observes that the induced homomorphisms on cohomology groups by a cyclic map are trivial. For a CW-complex X, we use the fact to obtain some conditions of X so that the n-th Gottlieb group $G_n(X)$ is trivial for an even positive integer n. As corollaries, for any positive integer m, we obtain $G_{2m}(S^{2m})\;=\;0\;and\;G_2(CP^m)\;=\;0$ which are due to D. H. Gottlieb and G. Lang respectively, where $S^{2m}$ is the 2m- dimensional sphere and $CP^m$ is the complex projective m-space. Moreover, we show that $G_4(HP^m)\;=\;0\;and\;G_8(II)\;=\;0,\;where\;HP^m$ is the quaternionic projective m-space for any positive integer m and II is the Cayley projective space.
