Let $G$ be a simply-connected simple compact Lie group and let $M$ be an orientable smooth closed 4-manifold. In this paper we calculate the homotopy type of the suspension of $M$ and the homotopy types of the gauge groups of principal $G$-bundles over $M$ when $pi_1(M)$ is: (1)~$mathbb{Z}^{*m}$, (2)~$mathbb{Z}/p^rmathbb{Z}$, or (3)~$mathbb{Z}^{*m}*(*^n_{j=1}mathbb{Z}/p_j^{r_j}mathbb{Z})$, where $p$ and the $p_j$s are odd primes.
Let $M$ be an orientable, simply-connected, closed, non-spin 4-manifold and let $mathcal{G}_k(M)$ be the gauge group of the principal $G$-bundle over $M$ with second Chern class $kinmathbb{Z}$. It is known that the homotopy type of $mathcal{G}_k(M)$ is determined by the homotopy type of $mathcal{G}_k(mathbb{CP}^2)$. In this paper we investigate properties of $mathcal{G}_k(mathbb{CP}^2)$ when $G = SU(n)$ that partly classify the homotopy types of the gauge groups.
Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group with $pi_1(G)congmathbb{Z}$. We study the homotopy types of gauge groups of principal $G$-bundles over Riemann surfaces. This can be applied to an explicit computation of the homotopy groups of the moduli spaces of stable vector bundles over Riemann surfaces.
The $p$-local homotopy types of gauge groups of principal $G$-bundles over $S^4$ are classified when $G$ is a compact connected exceptional Lie group without $p$-torsion in homology except for $(G,p)=(mathrm{E}_7,5)$.
For every $k geq 2$ and $n geq 2$ we construct $n$ pairwise homotopically inequivalent simply-connected, closed $4k$-dimensional manifolds, all of which are stably diffeomorphic to one another. Each of these manifolds has hyperbolic intersection form and is stably parallelisable. In dimension $4$, we exhibit an analogous phenomenon for spin$^{c}$ structures on $S^2 times S^2$. For $mgeq 1$, we also provide similar $(4m{-}1)$-connected $8m$-dimensional examples, where the number of homotopy types in a stable diffeomorphism class is related to the order of the image of the stable $J$-homomorphism $pi_{4m-1}(SO) to pi^s_{4m-1}$.
