A model for the Whitehead product in rational mapping spaces

arXiv:1106.4080

Abstract

We describe the Whitehead products in the rational homotopy group of a connected component of a mapping space in terms of the André-Quillen cohomology. As a consequence, an upper bound for the Whitehead length of a mapping space is given.
