Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show that the p-local homotopy type of the gauge group of a principal bundle over an even-dimensional sphere is completely determined by the divisibility of the classifying map by p. In particular, for gauge groups of principal SU(n)-bundles over S2d for 2 ≤ dp − 1 and n ≤ 2p − 1, we give a concrete classification of their p-local homotopy types.
