In this paper, we generalize the Gottlieb groups and the related G-sequence of those groups, and present some sufficient conditions to ensure the exactness or non-exactness of G-sequences at some terms. We also give some applications of the exactness or non-exactness of G-sequences. Especially, we show that the non-exactness of G-sequences implies the non-triviality of homotopy groups of some function spaces.

For given spaces X and Y, let map(X, Y) and map_*(X, Y) be the unbased and based mapping spaces from X to Y, equipped with compact-open topology respectively. Then let map(X, Y ; f) and map_*(X, Y ; g) be the path component of map(X, Y) containing f and map_*(X, Y) containing g, respectively. In this paper, we compute cohomotopy groups of suspended complex plane π^n+m(ΣⁿℂP²) for m = 6, 7. Using these results, we classify path components of the spaces map(ΣⁿℂP², S^m) up to homotopy equivalence. We also determine the generalized Gottlieb groups G_n(ℂP², S^m). Finally, we compute homotopy groups of mapping spaces map(ΣⁿℂP², S^m; f) for all generators [f] of [ΣⁿℂP², S^m], and Gottlieb groups of mapping components containing constant map map(ΣⁿℂP², S^m; *).

Complex Grassmann manifolds $G_{n,k}$ are a generalization of complex projective spaces and have many important features some of which are captured by the $Pl{\ddot{u}}cker$ embedding $f:G_{n,k}{\rightarrow}{\mathbb{C}}P^{N-1}$ where $N=\(^n_k\)$. The problem of existence of cross sections of fibrations can be studied using the Gottlieb group. In a more generalized context one can use the relative evaluation subgroup of a map to describe the cohomology of smooth fiber bundles with fiber the (complex) Grassmann manifold $G_{n,k}$. Our interest lies in making use of techniques of rational homotopy theory to address problems and questions involving applications of Gottlieb groups in general. In this paper, we construct the Sullivan minimal model of the (complex) Grassmann manifold $G_{n,k}$ for $2{\leq}k<n$, and we compute the rational evaluation subgroup of the embedding $f:G_{n,k}{\rightarrow}{\mathbb{C}}P^{N-1}$. We show that, for the Sullivan model ${\phi}:A{\rightarrow}B$, where A and B are the Sullivan minimal models of ${\mathbb{C}}P^{N-1}$ and $G_{n,k}$ respectively, the evaluation subgroup $G_n(A,B;{\phi})$ of ${\phi}$ is generated by a single element and the relative evaluation subgroup $G^{rel}_n(A,B;{\phi})$ is zero. The triviality of the relative evaluation subgroup has its application in studying fibrations with fibre the (complex) Grassmann manifold.

D. H. Gottlieb [1, 2] studied the subgroups $G_n(X)$ of homotopy groups $\pi_n(X)$. In [5, 7, 10], the authors introduced subgroups $G_n(X, A)$ and $G_n^{Rel}(X, A) of \pi_n(X)$ and $\pi_n(X, A)$ respectively and showed that they fit together into a sequence $$ \cdots \to G_n(A) \longrightarrow^{i_*} G_n(X, A) \longrightarrow^{j_*} G_n^{Rel}(X, A) \longrightarrow^\partial $$ $$ \cdots \to G_1^{Rel}(X, A) \to G_0(A) \ to G_0(X, A) $$ where $i_*, j_*$ and \partial$ are restrictions of the usual homomorphisms of the homotopy sequence $$ \cdot \to^\partial \pi_n(A) \longrightarrow^{i_*} \pi_n(X) \longrightarrow^{j_*} \pi_n(X, A) \to \cdot \to \pi_0(A) \to \pi_0(X) $$.

Let V_k,n (ℂ) denote the complex Steifel and Gr_k,n (ℂ) the Grassmann manifolds for 1 ≤ k < n. In this paper, we compute, in terms of the Sullivan minimal models, the evaluation subgroups and, more generally, the relative evaluation subgroups of the fibration p : V_k,k+n (ℂ) → Gr_k,k+n (ℂ). In particular, we prove that G_* (Gr_k,k+n (ℂ), V_k,k+n (ℂ) ; p) is isomorphic to G^rel_* (Gr_k,k+n (ℂ), V_k,k+n (ℂ) ; p) ⊕ G_* (V_k,k+n (ℂ)).
