Constructing a map between suspensions that induces isomorphism on homology groups

94 Views Asked by At

This question is similar but different from this Let the spaces be locally compact, Hausdorff and based.

Problem: Construct a map $\Sigma (X \times Y) \to \Sigma X \vee \Sigma Y \vee \Sigma (X \wedge Y)$ which induces isomorphism on homology groups.

I think once again I must use the fact that $[\Sigma Z, W]_*$ has a group structure.

We do get the natural map,

$\Sigma (X \times Y) = \Sigma X \vee \Sigma Y \vee \Sigma (X \wedge Y)$ (where the first two are induced by projections and the last one by quotient)

and assuming $(X \times Y, X \vee Y)$ is a good pair and using $H_{k+1}\Sigma = H_{k} $ we get the following long exact sequence,

$\cdots \to H_{k+1}(X \times Y, X \vee Y ) \to H_{k}(X \vee Y) \to H_{k}(X \times Y) \to H_{k}(X \times Y, X \vee Y) \to H_{k-1}(X \vee Y)\to \cdots$

Now I want to have that the middle portion is split sicne that will give me $H_{k}(X \vee Y) \oplus H_{k}(X \times Y, X \wedge Y) \cong H_{k}(X \times Y)$ but sice no other conditions are given I cannot conclude that.

Can anyone give me some hints?
