Abstract

Self-maps of spaces in fibrations which appear in Postnikov systems are studied. The results are applied to obtain relations among self-homotopy equivalences of spaces in those fibrations to prove inequalities among self-closeness numbers of those spaces. Making use of the models of Sullivan, self-closeness numbers of rational spaces are also examined and some examples of rational spaces are studied precisely.

Keywords

self-homotopy equivalence, fibration, self-closeness number, Sullivan model
