SynopsisThe special unitary group SU(n) has the stable homotopy type of a wedge of n − 1 finite complexes. The ‘first’ of these complexes is ΣℂPn–1, which is well known to be indecomposable at the prime 2 whether n is finite or infinite. We show that the ‘second’ finite complex is again indecomposable at the prime 2 when n is finite, but splits into a wedge of two pieces when n is infinite.
